727 ID number on case

[Joe Bump]

I purchased a 727 trans with a 24 spline front shaft with the following on the case P/4329438 8069 7293. If any one can ID the year for me our the info from this I would really be greatful every time I go to get somthing for it they want to know the year and such.

Joe,

It's newer than a '79 model. I checked my TorqueFlite Field Service book for model years '69 thru '79. Your p/n doesn't show up. The last 8 numbers should be part of the vin for the vehicle the trans came out of.

There must be someone on this site who works at a dealer that can help you out.

8069 is the date code. That works out to be 1983 or 1984 if I did the math correctly. I don't know much about 727 tranny's after 1978 (last year of the big blocks) so I don't think I can help you much. I assume that is a small block unit and is probably a lockup convertor?

[Joe Bump]

Well the best I can tell is that it may have came out of a truck because it does have the longer tail section and it is the small block
bolt pattern for the casing if that would help on the ID'ing?

[Joe Bump]

It doesn't have the lock up torque converter and their is like a rough number in the casting on the bell housing I can post that to if it means any thing?
