Hell, it's not even in the car. I Have a 4 Speed trolley at the moment, does that count?
That's like mine
They're very good on fuel and emissions, but not quite as fast

BorgWarner manual 3 speed orginally
now got a BorgWarner manual 4 speed and new hump to fit it same top 1 more cog in the middle not as robust as the 3 speed but i can pull away now without slipping the clutch for the first 150 yards
Its aussie
BW4 speed (single rail) box
Used in Leyland P76
Ford falcon 6 and small v8
Aussie ford cortina 6 (its a bit of an animal)
valiants from 72-82
not as strong as US manual boxes but as light as a feather to shift i can shift it with 1 hand from 1st to second
in less than 30 seconds.

Not just small V8's, Dave. 351's (even in GT's) used the single rail after about 1974, barring a mysterious batch of Top Loaders used in mid 76 for homologation for racing purposes

stronger box than I thought
reconed to be an easy box to rebuild
think the layshaft lengh diameter and no.of splines was different and they upped the no of roller bearings in some places for the 8
do the falcons suffer with the gear stick coming off in your hands like the vals do
its a nice feature
