Default 440 question

hey this is just a ****s and giggles question but since the 46re is base off of a 727 trans, would say a 440 bolt to it in place of a magnum360?

If it did I wouldn't trust the 46re behind a 440, heck they don't hold up behind a 318

Big block and small block mopars have always had different bolt patterns. So no.

I think the OP is asking if he can put a 727 from a 440 behind a mag360.

No, you cannot cross over from Big Block to Small Block. And you would lose overdrive. You would be better off putting the money it would cost to adapt a small block 727 into making your modern trans better. If the 46re is an updated version of the 727, then it should share a lot of parts and should only need a few things to make it as bullet proof. If everything I've read and heard from trans shops is true, it is a flow issue with the oil, fix that.

**2 got me while I was doing a long winded answer.

you have it backwards man. i want to put a 440 in my truck, i can find a 440 just no trans comes with it. and i dont care about o/d. i cant use it anyways. O/D units dont like big tires and stock gears

Might wanna check and see if maybe the newer trans have a compatible bolt pattern.... V-10? Hemi?

Or, you could always swap it to a manual trans.... that shouldn't be too difficult.

you might not have to modify your dash to use analog gauges. the stock ones might be able to work with the stock sensors.
