Transmissions - I need a little skooling!

I may have posed this question to The List before, I don't remember. My
search of the archives turned up someone else asking this same question
- to which I replied " I don't know" - lol

The reliability of my current built A-500 AutoSatan Transmission is
unknown. I know its not going to be up to the task of putting around
Denver next summer.

I'm trying to determine iwhat to do for a transmission for Christine. I
  want something that has nothing to do with electronics. I'm also
going to be doing this on somewhat of a budget so I'm going to do the
bone yard or donor truck, thing. Which makes my logical choice a 46RH
transmission right?

Now as far as I can tell from Allpar... the 727, 904, A-500, A-518, and
the 42/46/RE/RH variants are all based off the same Torqueflite. Does
this mean the case dimentions and bell housing patterns are going to be
the same between an A-500 4x4 tranny and a 46RH tranny? I suppose what
I could do it get under the Ram and take some measurments of that
46RE... And Compare them to Christine's A-500.

Anyone know if the output shaft splines are different?
