727 Tranny Questions

I acquired a 73 motor-home 440/727 to replace the 318/904 in the 71 Charger I am rebuilding. The original 904 has two 'ear holes' on the bottom of the tailshaft case, for the bracket that holds the bottom of the shift linkage torque rod(Slapstick). The motor-home 727 does not have these.
My questions:
1) Should/can I find a different tailshaft housing from a 727 that has these?
2) Are motor-home and car 727's the same otherwise and will any big block one fit?
Or
3) Should I ditch the motor-home trany for some other reason(school me), and just get a whole new one?
Thanks.

AS long as the motorhome 727 is a long tail shaft, I believe you can just get another tail housing with the tab you need for your shifter bracket. But many motorhomes had the short tailshaft which is clearly shorter than the normal long tail. Then you might want to find another big block 727 core.

I would add to this that the true Motorhome trans has a special HD input shaft, 4 clutch high drum and 4 pinion planetaries. Most of these have the park brake on the tail which would keep you from using this as a "bolt in"
