If you put a 72 440 in it, you will find that the drivers side motor mount wont work. mounts for a 65 block are further forward than on the 66> cars. Supposedly, the later blocks had the mount bosses there, but undrilled. You should then be able to use a drivers side motor mount from a big block A-Body car. Also, the shift linkage on a 65 is cable operated and will not work on a later transmission.... Just a couple of the little 1 year only idiosyncrasies found on the 65 C-Bodies.........

Some RVs used the truck transmission which had a short tailshaft which won't in a passenger vehicle.

Some of the long shaft RV 727's had a big tab on top of the shaft that doesn't fit in the tunnel. It maybe could be ground off but I'm not sure.

I think 64 was the last year except on Imperials, then I think 66. Just shooting from the hip on this though....

If the transmission has a yoke on the end its a short shaft and a excellent find 4 pinion front and rear with wide 5 clutch drum and hemi style band guts are worth $.

my question now is what all do i need to mount this engine with a 727 and would a k member swap help more then drill and tapping the bosses to mount conversion bracket. ive seen kits that would work if the car started out with a B/RB but none about swapping from a poly to a 440. I just need to know if this is gonna be more then what its worth.

I saw this project start off on shaky footing from the start and it went downhill from there.
Kudos to your lofty ambitions. Common logic should kick in now.
