Well Im needing a 727 small block tranny so I put an add on the local radio and got a call. A guy that lives about 30 miles away has a 440 and 727 tranny. He wants $500 for it. He says that he has it set up so you can start it right up and listen to it. He says its either a 72 or 73 model. He also said that he ran the numbers and its a 345 hp motor and now it has an edelbrock intake and carb. My question is do you think this would be a good deal because I have no idea what they are worth. Im kinda waiting before I go look at it because one of my friends said he knew a guy that had a built 440 six pack for like $400 a year or so ago. Thanks for the help!

$500 for a running 440/727 that you can hear run before you buy it is a good deal.

A built 440 six pack for $400...... Hell would freeze over first.

Go with the $500 deal. It would be a great upgrade from what you have now. Plus you could sell your small block and recop some of the money that you spend on teh 44/727 and dropping it into your car.

I agree, it is a great deal! Don't wait or someone else will go get it! You cannot even buy a 6 pack intake for $400. Go get your truck, go take a listen, ask for a compression check (should be around 180) and if it checks out, pay the man and take the motor and trans!!!

Alright thanks guys! Yeah i thought the same about the six pack but he wouldnt lie to me. This guy has a roadrunner and a duster. He is trying to get ahold of the guy for me. I was like $400?!?! Why didnt you buy it? He was like I dont need it lol he said the guy really needs money. Probably sold by now but why cant we dream

$500.00 would be a steal for the 440 as for the other one being built for $400.00 um yeah sure sounds totally real he probably has a alloriginal hemi cuda with 1000 miles for $1500.00 lol

was doin some research and i dont think the 72s and 73s could have 345 hp?

Man you cant go wrong. Worse case scenario you flip it for parts or sell the tranny and keep the motor. This is a no brainer man.
