The issue with early SRB gearboxes is that they are adjusted to fit old 540 cans, which were slightly smaller in diameter than later 540 cans.
So finding a motor that fits is probably some trial and error, but using ebay and buying vintage looking silver cans is the way to go.
The one linked to by Spannerman3 looks promising.
