Well, I'm guessing the price.  The Mopar A518 needs an adapter to mount 
it to the big block.  This gets real expensive, for the trans plus 
adapter.  Adding an aftermarket O.D., such as a Gear Vendors, is close 
to $3,000.  I'm assuming a GM O.D. trans is quite a bit cheaper, even 
after purchasing the Mopar adapter for it.

The A727 is, however, the best automobile automatic transmission ever, 
in my opinion.  Who knows if a GM O.D. trans can take the abuse of a 
stout 440.
