$300? IMO the engine itself is worth at least that.

I don't think the t-case will bolt up to a stock 2WD 727, I think you'll need a different tailhousing.

I think so. But I'm not positive what differences there are.

You'll need to make sure it's from a 383/400 or 440 too, since I know for sure the bell housings are different from the BBs and the SBs.

Output shaft, and tailhousing are different. You could rebuild the trans, and install the correct shaft, tailhousing just bolts on.
