Default TRANS ID

A friend of mine is converting a '67 Firebird from an auto trans to a 4 speed. He is in the process of rounding up all the necessary parts. He is going to look at a trans on Wed and wants to know how to identify a Muncie from a Saginaw or a B/W T-10.

I told him the Muncie would be all aluminum, but beyond that I don't have anymore advice.

I think some Muncies have a groove machined into the input shaft to denote a wide ratio from a close ratio, but I'm not certain of that.
Anyway, I know some guys on this site can help me help him.

How do you distinguish a Muncie from the others, and how can you tell a M-21 from a M-22? And any other advise you can offer.
Which would be better in a street driven, almost stock Firebird with 2.73: gears in it.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Tom
