I considered an a440 trans for my conversion. I believe I found out that the overdrive in the a440's was very similar to the 700R4. I can't remember the exact numbers but the 700R4 is .70 so the a440 I think was around .73 or something. The a442 in my 94 was more like .78 or something. After pricing and rebuilding both transmissions it was easy to decide on the 700R4, I got a rebuilt heavy duty diesel specific 700R4 for about $900 including a core and torque converter. You can't get anywhere near that with the a440.
