In response to DADS53
If it's "rebuilt", best to find to find out who rebuilt it and exactly what was done. I've seen "rebuilt" items for our cars that were only repainted and cleaned up.
I was given a Borg Warner T86E 3-speed O.D. trans last Fall. It won't fit our cars--I got it for a buddy who is rebuilding his dad's Studebaker truck (It also fits Jeeps). The T86E needed a new 1st/Rev sliding gear and I found an NOS one on ebay for $26, and put it in along with a gasket set. So the total cost of the rebuilt O.D. trans was less than $50.
I bet if you keep looking you can find a Chevy O.D. trans from those years for cheap. I know I've seen them. Just keep looking. They are not real difficult to rebuild--get a Shop Manual and do it yourself. If no gears are trashed, it will only need new bearings and maybe synchros. Ebay will be your friend in that case.
