Well John, They can all be made to work
I'm a big fan of 360s, and a big fan of the A833.
As to the 4-spds, Yes the A-bodys and Fs use the shorttail tranny. The reason for this is to put the shifter mount in the correct place, so that you can actually mount the shifter. If you look in the tunnel, you will see a big old bracket spot welded to the underside of the tunnel at the rear mount. the shorttail puts the mounting pad in front of that. then you get to cut out the side of the tunnel, to fit the shiftrods. Then you buy, and weld in, a floorhump, install a new carpet, dress it up,and you are in business.
