200 - 250 >if< you happen to need a buildable (hopefully) 455 and/or THM425. Or if the body's good and you have a 70 Toro that's got cancer in the body parts.

My understanding is that there were a few internal parts in the 425s which were motorhome specific and unobtainable anymore.
So the 425 from a car may not be a rebuild and drop in type of unit. I cant recall which specific parts but thats what I was lead to believe.

Mike, the 425s are FWD configuration, whereas the 400s are reaer or [with a TF case] 4WD
The internal parts are similar but generally not interchangeable.
AS I understand it, the item hard to find is the drive chain

No, the 425 is go front wheel drive so it was used in the Tornados.
The motorhome ones had an additional disk in the clutch packs.
