R.v. - 440/727

[vtmopar]

Might have found a RV with a 440 and a 727. The owners are an older couple that use it as a garden shed now.
Trying to get them to sell me the engine and tranny without disturbing the RV.
Have not convinced them yet.
I do not know anything about big block mopars is this worth going after?
Later on down the road would probably rebuild it for a project.

thanks.

Hey, man...it's a 440 I pulled one out of my Winnebago last month. I paid $400 for the Winnebago and drove it home. I was gonna put it in my '72 D100, but decided on just getting a different truck. Thinking now of putting it in a different car. Gonna hold onto it for now...

Great base for a build vt. I pulled 2 over the years. The first one was a 71 and had 6 pack rods and was a fairly rare block with a lot of extra ribbing on the block. The second was a 76 630 casting and had thicker main webbing than most other 440 blocks. I would go for it also.

Good to know,
was not sure wanted to double check.
Nothing I need right now,but I figured grab it for future needs.
Does not sound like they are going to let me pull it until spring.
Trying to convince them to wait until the ground is frozen so I can get it without disturbing their lawn.
