No turning back now! Just traded the 360 out of the car for a good BB727, a 440 windage tray, a Mopar cam and lifters and $150 on top of the parts.

I found a guy that is gonna trade me a core 727 and a whole bunch of 440 stuff that I need for my old 360!

Here's a pic. What do you guys think it's worth?

Ok. Some good info here. The picture of the transmission shows that it is not the slip yoke style. So maybe the trans is actually a '64?

Hmmmm. Sounds like a huge pain in the ***. The problem is that these trannies are super rare around here(Oregon). Is the bellhousing the same at least?

I have a '71 Duster that I am putting a 440 in. I found a complete 4 speed and bellhousing assembly for sale for $500. The guy says it's out of a '65 B body with a big block. How hard would it be to make this work in my Duster that is currently equipped with a 904?

Jim, I am 25. That is a pretty good point you bring up. I would like something that is very different to drive than the Nova I already have. I love that car for what it is. It most definitely is a really great driver and there is a lot done to the 350 that's in it. I think I could live with this...

Thank you for the great answer!

Hmmm. I already have a "fun" street car. It's a '74 Nova with a 350. It gets 17 mpg and is a blast to drive. I am also in the process of building a '65 Mustang with a '95 5.0/5 speed. That car is getting painted right now. There really is no rush to get this Duster thrown together. I am just...

Would a 727 out of a '63 Fury with a 383 be a good choice to use in my '71 Duster 440 swap? I found one that I can buy for $100

It may be bored already but the cylinder walls still have visible cross-hatching so it would only need a hone job. From what people are saying in this thread it's almost as if nobody thinks a 440 is a worthwhile swap. I just found a BB 727 that I could buy for $100....

Actually the .45 is the measurement of the wear mark at the top of the bore from the rings. I haven't found a socket big enough to turn it over and check how far down in the hole they are exactly.

I just did a little bit of tear-down to see what I have. Everything inside the motor is very clean. My heads are 3462346 casting. Are these considered to be OK for performance use? I would definitely have to rebuild this thing to get any power out of it. The cylinder walls look awesome but, the...

What can you guys tell me about this 440? I noticed the water pump outlet seems to be on the opposite side of most that I see pictured online. Is this likely out of a motorhome or something?
