What can you tell me about the spicer 3053A?

[botboy]

Have a lead on a Dana-Spicer 3053A 5-speed manual transmission for cheap. Current owner says its an overdrive, curious to know a couple of things about it:

1) Did these ever come behind the SB, BB or diesels?
2) If not, can they use the SM465 or SM420 bellhousing? I'd be bolting to a 350 or 6.5NA Diesel
3) what ratio is the OD?
4) what divorced T-cases were used behind them in 4x4's?

Well Rene got you the ratios, and I have the bellhousing to mate it to the GM engines.
Tcases were divorced, the rockwell, the dana 125 and the NP200 were some of the tcases used.
How much can you get it for?
Boyce sells them for $950 rebuilt. I am trying to find one cheaper.

Just gotta find the right bellhousing out of a C40-60 series with a 5 speed non-o/d, it will bolt right up to the tranny. I know it ISN'T a New Process 542 GL, because I have one in the barn.
