Looks like 3681056 1972 c-body 440
Thanks so would it be a good one for my car it has 440 ,with 6-barrel and a street strip cam ,bored .030,906 heads and I have 3500 stall convertor. I plan on running 3:50 gear and it's tabbed with 29×18.5×15 tires.
 
It'll be fine. If it needs a rebuild, keep it mild and run it.
727s are very tough and can perform well behind quite a bit of engine before they need serious$$$ upgrades.
The 727 currently in my car (600hp RB) was pulled from a junkyard '68 Newport and after verifying it turned and shifted smoothly was promptly put behind a 500-ish hp 440 with no more than a fluid flush, new filter, and new pan. It took everything I threw at it. After about 2 years the band support strut broke backing out of my driveway so I rebuilt it with a TF-2 kit and it's been good ever since. I beat on it pretty good too, with the current engine and sticky drag tires, manually shifting at WOT every chance I get....good times.

Ok great, I was thinking about putting in a shift kit ,regular shift configuration and a deep pan and sprag kit.
 
If you're doing those upgrades, I'd consider a billet steel front drum too.
