Joe,

If you want to use the 71 motor with a later Chrysler transmission it can be 
done fairly easily.  My 72 Javelin SST has a 401 out of a 71 Matador mated 
with a 727.  The previous owner did the work, but as I recall there are two 
options.  You can have the crank machined down to size, or there's also an 
adapter.  Someone on the list will know the details I'm sure.  Not trying to 
discourage the BW, just wanted you know you have options.
