The area where the dipstick tube is protrudes out instead of being a straight. From the description would this indicate a 727? Is there any serious difference between this /6 727 and a 904 tranny for a slant 6?

Like any other 727, it had the same length case, but slant 6 and 318 versions had medium duty guts, the 360,383 400 and 440 versions were heavy duty.
