I would say so,if it runs good

i got my 78 440/727 shorty for my 88 truck build

75,000 miles on the clock for 300$

swaped oil pans from front sump to rear sump and bolted it right in on the 85 frame

FYI the shorty tranz could have the tranz mount moved forward 2" compaired to a long tail 727...I made a xmember from square stock and the stock lower brackets and used the MH flat rubber tranz mount,it had the speedo hook up in a diff spot-no worky with stock xmember...some shortys may have the park brake drum on the tail shaft also

the tranz will be the HD with 4 planatary gears but no hemi clutch drum

I used a CRT full manual Vb to drop the stock throttle pressure linkage (hard to come by and big $$$)

thats it in the sig pic
