Re: [Chrysler300] 413 engine & trans

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,  I have a 72  Pace Arrow motor home which is on a Dodge 
Chassis.  Lee was right about the engine, But I have often thought about 
using the tranny  as a replacement for the old cast iron Torqueflight.  
I sure don't know why it wouldn't work and it would be plenty Heavy Duty 
for the job.   Might be a crankshaft / Torque converter problem   Gary
