Default engine/tranny swap

I have recently purchaseda '95 B2500 with a 5.2L V8. The tranny is 3 spd and I can't stand it. My question is there a 4spd tranny that I can swap out with the one I have currently? If so what year vehicle would it come out of? My next question isthereany late model Dodge trucks/vans that carry this same 318c engine. Or is it cheaper to rebuild what I have?

Here's the tranny swap information.

It's usually cheaper to rebuild assuming you have no major block damage like a spun bearing or a thrown rod.
