Any other usable parts on it ..
Don't they usually have the more desirable lower gear sets in the trans?

Last two 440 I bought out of Titan MH's were cast crank motors.
"Turbo will be easiest, and at the HP level will also be easiest on parts. Spend the money to do it right, and you can build a 500 HP street motor that will live a long and happy life, and probably with a very basic short block."
Those words must have left a bad taste in his mouth!

I've pulled a few '74 MH 440's over the years (just tore one down last week..) and they all had forged cranks & the heavy six-pack type rods. Some even came with a windage tray.
Yep, a friend scored one of those, HP rods, windage tray and double chain.
