Jim, 

I think you mean
4.22:1 from early cars
3.9:1 from early 1500 cars
3.7:1 from late 1500 cars
4.55:1 from Morris Minors ( I believe) that many autocrosser's use

Ryan,
You only need the Differential which goes inside the pumpkin and rear axle.  As Derf said you want one that has 10/39 on the top of the differential case but check yours first to see which you have now!  There were at least 3 available. Early cars were 4.22 to 1,  then there is 3.9 to 1 and the shorter 4.22 to 1.  The 4.22 is great for autocross -  the taller geared 3.77 for highway use.  As was noted, the taller gears are getting hard to find and usually demand a suitable hunk of cash.
If you find a 3.9 or 3.77 that's inside a rear axle case and the seller won't part it out, buy the whole thing.  You'll need help picking it up!!   DAMHIK....
Cheers!Jim
