Any of the aluminum cases will work.

Before anyone recommends it, the NP205 specifically will not work without a lot of doing. It's too narrow causing interference with the front driveshaft and the pan.

Truf, the 205 can be mounted up behind the E4OD, there is some mods that have to be done and a little re-indexing work, but not that big a deal. Easiest would be to get a BW1356 from either a Bronco or F-250/350. They typically had fix yoke cases and the lower models (as in not xlt or Lariat) usually had the manually operated cases.
