I have a Lamborghini book that list some Espada's with 727 Torqueflite transmission.


I Googled the Quatroporte before I posted my original question. Apparently the '84 came with a 4.9 Maserati V8 and a 727 TorqueFlite, so I suppose the swap is feasible. I was just wondering if this swap was something relatively "common," like the Volvo/Chev 350, or was just an example of inspired backyard engineering.
