You misunderstood part of my meaning. If you are going to do a serious rebuild on a motor home 440, AND you got it cheap enough, the "stress" that it was under won't matter--it might be worn a little more, but the heavy use won't hurt it. I only meant if you wanted a low mileage engine that you could just dump in there with no rebuild, then a motor home might not be a good choice

So far as the trans, I'm not an auto man. You have a 904 now? If so, a 727 should be a worthwhile upgrade. Some car models have different tailshaft lengths, so you might have to rework the driveshaft. If you get the correct one, it should be a bolt in so far as mounts.

Again, check out the balancing issue.
