Do you gain anything with a 4spd even, grandpas 360 is still grabbing the stars with a 4spd at 55
Sharp looking old trucks though, those packages were cool even just having the different paint scheme, much less the extra goodies they offered with some of them
Surprised they haven't tried to revive those too

I always thought the V10 used the BB bolt pattern, but I guess that's not the case, I did a quick google on using a 47RH on a big block.

I think the base block for the V-10 engine design was the 5.9. They designed two extra cylinders but could use the same hardware. That's how the V-6 came about. The 3.9 had the rear of the front two cylinders and the front of the second pair of cylinders removed on the design sheet. This let Chrysler use the same brackets and accessories like water pumps and so on between engines. The brackets don't sell cars so why not use the same ones across the board. A V-6 transmission might not stand up to a V-10, but it might fit. I've never tried so I can't say for sure.

Just what I call logical thinking in my brain, if they're going to keep the 727 design, why make it complicated lol, but they did
