Free 440!!!!

[mrtires24]

I'm Sorry, its not free for you....I got one for Free the other day

It is in a motor home, and the engine runs. I was wondering if I would be able to use the Tranny and the exhaust manifolds if I put it all into my demon.

I know I would have to shorten the drive shaft. I do have a 440 duster, but it has headers, and a 4 spd, so I am unfamiliar with auto's, and exhaust manifolds. If I do this, I want it to be a cheap build over the winter.

Let me know.

PS, if you need some vintage motor home parts, I have them.

PS, again I am sorry for making you think that I was giving away a 440 for free. But honestly Who thinks that they could get one for free in the first place?....oh....I guess me...;)

I got a free steel crank 906 head 440 on Seattle Craigslist. I think the manifolds won't be a good idea, and is the trans the same as a car 727? Are the manifolds logs or center dump? Try B-body HP manifolds if going that route. I've seen RV transmissions be different that passenger car transmissions. Some have a parking brake in the tail shaft, and some have a short tail shaft.

Don't bother with the auto go with a 4spd

All motor home transmissions I've seen are totally different than cars. They are actually shorter and have the parking brake drum mounted to the end and instead of a slip yoke they have a yoke like the rearend to bolt the driveshaft too. It's probably a real heavy duty trans internally but to convert it over for use in a car would require a total strip down to replace the output shaft and related pieces with a car unit.

I don't know positively about the exhaust manifolds but knowing how little room is in the A-body I doubt they'll work but that's just my guess.
