340 T/A motor and matching # trans
Sorry about the slow response. I went back to the original login for the forum and saw my posting, but no responses. Checking my e-mail this weekend I found a response from A Bodies Only.

Trans is out of the original car. Sent it to my rebuild shop. They said it did not show sufficient wear to justify a rebuild.
Not sure about the pistons. Have the orig, but will check w/ the rebuild shop.
The orig was the OE destroker crank. It is rusted but may be salvageable. The installed crank is the 340 forged steel OE type.
The Purple Stripe cam was bought from Direct Connection back in the 1970's. Had several discussions w/ them back then about fitting it into the '40 Dodge. One guy had dropped the Ram Induction w/ 2 4BBL into a '39 coupe w/ them hanging out of the side ports of the hood. The Purple Stripe cam they sold me was the one they said was the most lift and duration that would work best w/ the 727 at that time. Obviously much has changed since then.
