That would be the Ford toploader. You can scour the yards for one that will pop out of gear, or pay up.
complete trans/parts/tons of info:
David Kee Toploader Transmissions, Inc.
parts:
Toploader 4 Speed Transmissions
Catalog
more info, and advice regarding used boxes (easy to get over $1000 fixing a junker)
Buying Used Toploaders
google "4 speed toploader" for those and more.
BTW, the later model 4 speed OD toploader is built on the same pattern, but is not as strong. No way the OD will hold up to a big inch motor.
You will also want to be sure to get the wide ratio, 2.78 first gear box.
