Ah, my straight-six days...
Consult with a large junkyard in your area, they have interchange manuals which will tell you what fits, if they don't outright know off the top of their heads. Plus you can get a decent deal on a clean used tranny.

Gary, didn't the early rodders use the torque tube third members in some of those early hot rods? I know for a fact that they were tough as nails. Think I remember seeing one in Eddie Hill's Shop on his twin engine Pontiac rail (when I was much younger).

hey cam i guess you have a 216 or 235 straight six with a three speed on the tree .instead of a Chrysler slant six? . the most common way was to get an open drive line 55 chevy rear end and put a small block chevy 327, 350 ect .with a turbe 400 automatic trans.
