    Thanks :), I'm also going to count my Splines as well. Not sure what year this 727 came out of. I'm learning a lot when you try to piece together a car from scratch ;).

    Trouble mating 727 to a 440 - HELP ;)

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the help, I've pulled an tried reseating the converter several times. It feels like it's seated, and with alittle shaking did feel it slide in alittle farther. It would be nice there was a space to get a mirror back behind the converter and see if it is truly seated...

    I'll take a measurement and confirm, thanks for the info. As for the Converter snout, yes it fit and slide into the crank without any issues. I'm going out and play with it right now.

    727 help???????

    Crazy Question, but what did Mopar consider a small block? 318 or a 400? So I'm assuming then a 383 and above would be a big block.

    Trouble mating 727 to a 440 - HELP ;)

    Hey everyone, frustrating afternoon. Finally got enough free time to try and mate the 727 to the 440, and it didn't fit. The Bell Housing stands off about 1/2 - 3/4" from the engine. The Bolt holes line up perfectly, and the Converter is inserted all the way into the Trans input shaft, but...

    1968 Dart /6-904 > 440-727 Swap

    I need your help guys, I haven't mated the transmission to the motor yet, but was curious if the original Transmission Cross Member (originally a Slant 6 & 904 Tranny) will bolt up to the 727? I've read that they both used the same cross member, but figured I'd ask before I start dropping this...

    440 Oil Pressure Connection(s)

    Hi Guys, just dropped the 440 in the 68 Dart, but trying to figure which Oil Port to connect the gauge to. I have two (different) size holes at the rear of the Engine (above the CAM Cavity. I had assumed there would have been a connection on the Pump (hmm, not the case it seems). Any ideas?
