Welcome to the Forums! I've seen one other Dodge-based Barth (~23') - that one had the 4-bolt 318. I don't know what transmission. If you bought it from Jan Hawk, it's the same one I've seen.

Trans is probably a 727.

Great trans. Here is a link to help you ID trans by pan shape.

BTW, unless you have service records and know when the last fluid change was, drop the pan and change fluid and filter.
