Found a 383

[Drg racr]

I found a complete 383/727 combo, running, in a '69 New Yorker. It's a 2bbl motor. He's asking $900 for the whole car. Is it worth buying for the drivetrain?

I wish it was near me for $ 900.00 i'd be all over that sounds like a good deal !

Transmission wont fit an A body, long tail shaft. You can get it to fit but requires some work, different output shat and tail shaft housing.

hell yea - you can make some decent $$ back selling off the parts..

For cars there is only one tail shaft length.....

some pickup trucks and motor homes might have a different tail shaft..
I have owned 3 Class C dodge power motorhomes..and all have a standard vehicle tail shaft....

I guess i was thinking of the different 727 small block and big block. 34 3/8 for small block and 34 1/2 for big block. Thannks^^^

After pulling the driveline you can probably get almost all your money back selling the rolling body to a demolition derby guy.

I know you are in NY and i'm in Mo, but I figure even here, a running big block 383 or 440 will bring minimum of $500 the trans is worth $100-125. sell a few parts and scrape the carcass and you have done OK. worth a lot to the buyer, to be sitting in a running car.. IMO
