Default 4 speed tranny

Hey guys I'm looking to put a 4 speed in my 65 w 302 It has a 3 speed. Which 4 speeds will work? I have seen a lot of 4 speeds on ebay and craigslist. I just not sure what year model will bolt up. or will any Ford 4 speed tranny work??

im pretty sure the Borg Warner T-10 will work! atleast thats what they used on the 289 shelbys, so if it worked for them why not us?[8D]

I put a 4 speed toploader into my 65 289 fastback automatic. The toploader supposedly came out of a 69 Boss. After getting all the parts and pieces it went in like butter.

Get a top loader, a Borg-Warner T-10 is a modified 3 speed that has a nasty habit of destroying the 2nd gear syncros.
