is it 2wd or 4wd?...
automatic or stick?
I am going to assume automatic...
if it is 4 wheel drive,it will have a 727,this transmission is almost bullet proof,but since you cannot switch the bell housing,you are limited to the engines,you could bolt a 273,318,340,or 360 to this transmission and it will take all you throw at it...
727s are also available for big blocks(383,400,413,426,440)
if it is 2wd it could have a 727,or a 904,the 904 is strong,but nowhere near as strong as the 727,the biggest benefit of the 904 is the lower first gear(2.76 VS 2.46)you could bolt a 273,318,340,or 360 to a 904,with the smaller engines(273/318)it will last around 200-250K miles,with the 340 you can expect 150K,and the 360 100K,all these estimates are assuming light duty use,if you hammer it regularly,you can expect to reduce its life by half...
