What about the crank from your complete 440 and 727 still mated together???
Tear into it and look at the rod and main journals.... If there are no marks, throw some fresh bearings in and plastic gauge them...
Check the heads for leaks at the valves and guides and if not, clean them up and run those...
You also may want to look at one of these rebuild kits from Mancini for a start...
The A & B kits have rod and main bearings, rings, and complete gasket kits... The A kit has cast iron rings, and the B kits have moly rings....
The C & D kits are more complete with pistons, oil pumps, rod and main bearings, rings, and gasket kits... C kit has cast pistons, and D kit has forged pistons...
