75 440 Power Wagon: 4 sp to 727 : Donor Vehicles?

75 440 Power Wagon: 4 sp to 727 : Donor Vehicles? - 09/06/14 05:57 AM
I have a 440 4 speed Power Wagon with 4.10 gears. 4 wheel drive. Ive never been much of a manual shift guy, but this truck was given to me by a friend. It has full time 4wd and what looks like a NP 203 transfer case. I understand that the transmission is somewhat desireable due to its strength and the super low 1st gear. Nevertheless, to enjoy the truck more for how I like to drive, I would like to convert it to an automatic.
I expect that the 440 is a cast crank mill, so if I sell all the manual trans specific stuff, a balanced 440 flywheel will be part of the package. Knowing how it is with cars, the costs of converting TO a manual trans are pretty steep. I suspect it is less so with trucks since the parts are more common. My goal ultimately is just to come out even or ahead by a few bucks. I'd prefer a rebuilt 727 or one I've seen running. Changing transmissions in 4wds really sucks so I'd surely want to know the one I'm installing is in good condition.
Has anyone here any experience with this? Any suggestions? Thanks, Greg

that big block 4spd bellhousing will go a long way into funding your swap project. They command a premium price and are quite desirable.

Granite Bay is in Northern CA.
Looking closer, the 440 is a forged crank mill. This trans also is as tight and quiet as you could imagine. If I were a 4 speed fan I'd be pleased as punch with it. I'm running 4.10 gears and 32" tires. I know I'll be losing some gear ratio advantage by switching to the taller 1st gear 727 as compared to the granny low of this 4 speed.

Do you not like shifting, or do you not like the granny low gear spread? If its the gear spread you don't like you might consider a swap to the NP445/NP4530. It has a more normal 4-speed gear spread. I did this swap on my 73 W200 and it made the truck much more driveable in pretty much all conditions I use it for. If I need a really low first gear I just throw it in low range. The NP445 gear ratios are 4.56 first, 2.28 second, 1.31 third, and 1.00 fourth, and all 4 gears are synchronized.
With all that said, I'd prefer a 440 over my current 318 so if you do ahead with the swap PM me as I might be interested in the big block bellhousing.

I have had manual trans cars before. They are okay for something different but the novelty wears off quick for me. The "FrankenDuster" was a 360 with an 833 4 speed. I liked that car at first but grew tired of stop signs, red lights, etc. This truck functions perfectly as is but I will readily admit that the 1st gear ratio feels too low. Carrying a load, starting in second feels too tall. Regardless, I've owned several 74-78 Dodge trucks with 727s and I just prefer them that way. I have a 78 Trail Duster with a 440/727. Much easier to drive, text, eat chinese food with chopsticks and juggle chainsaws while driving on snowy, curvy roads.

I was curious about something. I'm pretty sure it would work but would appreciate opinions:
Big block 4wd 727 cases are not as easy to come by as small block versions. I have 3 or 4 non lockup BB 727 2wd Truck/car transmissions already here. All I'd need is a small block 4wd case to have the tail housing and associated components, right? Couldn't a trans guy make this work?

Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: 4 speed to 727 ideas - 09/25/14 10:23 PM
correct 7 correct agiain.
convert either SB or BB 2x auto case to 4x4 use with tailhousing/adaptor/mount/output shaft.
just need the the spare parts to come together.

make sure the tailstock is the right pattern if you are buying a 4wd small block 727. The 203 uses a different pattern then a 205 or 208

Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: 4 speed to 727 ideas - 09/26/14 11:59 PM
I have some suggestions that some may not like but I assure you they make sense.
First if you have the unit bearing style full time front end a great update to that front end is to get 3/4 ton Chevy part time knuckles out including the outer stub shaft and hubs at a salvage yard. Why not dodge stuff more difficult to locate around here,more expensive and the brakes have worked better in my experiances. Also the tie rod.
Second get a newer transmission and tranfercase 84 and later had a lower first gear. The 208 transfercase is pond to pound as strong as a 205 tcase. Yes the 205 has nearly a hundred ponds on the 205. The 203 can be made part time but is still chain driven, as is the 208 but the 203 is more than a hundred ponds heavier.
And finally you will need at the very least a rear drive shaft reguardless of what changes you make because automatic and manual uses different lengths on the rear for sure.

been here done this a couple times in the past. the chebby knuckles out swap was the ticket when I went to 14" wide rims with 18-44-15 Hawgs 40$ chebby wheel bearing vs 100$ dodge bearing/press work.

you are just be lazy with the auto trans.
I can see your point though. I was thinking more of the gear ratio split from granny to 2nd you mentioned you did not like granny as it seemd to low and 2nd was a little to high to pull off from a stop all the time...this does make driving one a chore and gets old. But when it is geared just right it is a breeze and better mpg for a 4x4 IMHO.
mine was a blast in low range 3rd gear 6200 rpm turning 4.56 gears and 17/40/15 hawgs in the mud pit up to door handles.
BUT my auto never would wind up fast enough and did not spit u-joints like the 5 speed did either.they do indeed have their pros and cons.

I should also mention that I do a lot of stuff around the yard with the truck, getting in and out frequently. The parking brake sucks, so the truck wants to roll. The "Park" feature is quite handy for what I do.

To swap to auto from manual, don't forget to change the radiator (no trans cooler in a manual truck radiator) and run the trans lines to and from the radiatior. You can use an aftermarket floor shifter so that you don't have to swap the steering column for a column shifter, pretty easy.
Keep the NP203, nothing wrong with it and the best Fulltime 4wd case from the '70s, by far (I currently have two of them).
I have an extra BB auto 4wd truck that I'd like to sell, as well, but I'm in IA and probably a little far for you...although it would have all the necessary parts for your swap...

No need to swap radiator just get a trans cooler. I've swapped in a stick Rad in an auto truck and used an trans cooler. No issues.

That would be my story, except the I would have to add: Its got shinny paint too.
I have a hard time understanding that "rust free" statement. Around here "rust free" means they are not charging any extra for the rust that is there. "Rust free" and "free rust" pretty much mean the same thing, in my world.

No rust at all on this truck...the oil leaks provided a nice corrosion resistance!
Kidding, of course.
The yellow stripe kit is being reproduced. I do want to get the kit but I've really spread myself thin with all of the projects here.

I am not too familiar with the correct years that I should look for in regards to a donor transmission. I have a good passenger car BB 727 so I'll be on the lookout for a 4x4 trans to get the tailshaft and other associated parts to swap. I know I'll need a trans that fits my 203 Full time case. I guess I could just look at the front end of the trucks, making sure they would have that large nut instead of a part time hub. The local yards out here have an online inventory list and even though it is often innacurrate, it does help some.

Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: 4 sp to 727 : Donor Vehicles? - 10/25/14 04:34 AM
I took the tailshaft housing off of a 727 to use on another. Are you saying that the existing output shaft stays in place and a 4x4 tail housing merely bolts on? Isn't the output shaft shorter on a 4x4?
Posted By: savoy64
Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: 4 sp to 727 : Donor Vehicles? - 10/25/14 04:12 PM
the output and the case match-----specific 4x4 tailhousing case +4x4 shaft and you can put either a BB or SB maincase on it----everything inside is the same big or small.....so the tailhousing case and matching shaft can have an AMC/IH/BB/SB maincase on it and all the guts are the same----pretty simple......

Should be easy to spot a 727 with a 203 adapter in a pile of transmissions if they have some. The bolt pattern is fairly unique. If not like you mentioned look for the big nut on the 75-79's. If California wasn't so far away from Canada I would give you one I usually throw them in the scrap pile.

On the word of a good friend, I left the trans with a local trans shop. I brought in a 12" low stall converter from a mid 70s class C motorhome. I wanted a low stall unit so the truck gets moving right off of idle. I'm not fond of a the slippy feel of the higher stall converters. plus the 440 is basically stock. Just a Performer intake and a Holly 600 carb. Prior owner swapped on a pair of the closed chambered heads, either 516 or 915, not sure which. Compression ratio can't be more than 9.0 to 1.
The same donor truck gave up the steering column. It even had a key in the ignition.
Score!

Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: Not sure I like the 4 speed - 09/09/16 06:02 AM
Man-0-man...Life sure gets in the way!
I had the 727 rebuilt. The converter was cut open, inspected and welded back up. Right as I was getting ready to do the swap, I had a disagreement with a buddy and it looked like I might have to sell the truck to generate some payback money. After THAT was settled, I got back to work with a long commute. I just put the swap off until I had time.
Now I'm back. I read a post on the first page here. Some guy thought I'd have to change the rear drive shaft due to length? Huh? I thought if the transfer case mounted in the same spot, the drive shafts would be essentially undisturbed. This Transfer case bolts to the trans case (Married). If the 727 is longer than the bell and 4 speed, the rear DS would need to be shortened with the front needing to be lengthened.
I could just measure the 727 and the 4 speed.

Alright, either my measurements are wrong or someone is passing off wrong info.
I just measured from the engine block to the transfer case in the truck. 24 3/8" The 727 I have patiently waiting is 24 1/4". It seems that it is a direct fit.
I did swap to the A/T steering column awhile back. I thought I had an A/T brake pedal but I can't find it now.

That is mighty kind and I appreciate it. I may be in touch if my luck sucks finding one locally.
The manual trans stuff if all out. Pretty easy job EXCEPT for the one bell housing bolt that is behind the clutch linkage. Holy Crap what a terrible idea! The cast iron bell has a mounting boss for the ball pivot that the cross shaft rides on. This boss (On big block) sticks out and makes it impossible to use a socket or even a wrench on the bell bolt. There was an allen head bolt in there with very little room around it to position an allen wrench. New cuss words were discovered while spending almost an hour on this one bolt.
I tore the gasket that goes between the trans and transfer case. A parts guy suggested oil resistant RTV. I figure that this isn't a pressurized connection so I figure that it should be okay.
As usual, I'll clean all the bolts and brackets before I put them back in. It is a 4wd so they will get muddy but I like installing clean parts.

Re: 75 440 Power Wagon: 4 sp to 727 : Donor Vehicles? - 09/13/16 02:15 PM
they make a socket that swivels with a allen or torx bit, I have a 3' and a 4' 3/8 drive extension for trans work. It reaches up to the bell bolts and you work the ratchet at the tailseal area or xfer case.
yes. some rtv for xfer/trans adaptor. gonna have to get high to use that trans jack under the truck.
mine always had a 6" lift with 17/40/15 I would undo the 7 bolts and kick the xfer off with my feet and let it drop to the ground. (I have a open dirt floor shop) then R&R the trans like a normal truck.
when I install the xfer, I would stand it up on a floor jack then lift it to get it on the splinesand let it hang but supported by jack, then swing it up to get the bolts in.
I agree, clean before R&R makes it go back together with less dirt in the eyes.
did you get the auto shift linkage and torque shaft/TPV linkage?

I finished up yesterday. Things went well. That 203 transfer case sure is a heavy and awkward unit. I had trouble getting it placed right on the transmission jack.
I had to modify some 318/360 kickdown linkage parts to complete it.
No leaks and the trans feels pretty good. I had the rebuilder install a Trans-Go TF-2 shift kit in it. It upshifts into 2nd on time but I can't get it to upshift into 3rd until around 50 mph. Throttle input makes no difference. I suppose that this is a side effect of the shift kit?
The big 12" converter is a real low stall which is a great match for the truck. It is a stock 75 440 with 915 heads so the compression ratio is probably around 8.8 to 9.0 to 1.
Now I'm going to clean the manual trans parts and list them for sale.
