727 Trans
Seems I have heard not so complementary comments about the 727 for street strip use.I have seen guys go to the PG and other GM branded trans.But honestly I don't know why that is.In the mid to late 70's I did bracket race a 73 Dodge Dart sport.Sure it had a 727 trans.Thing is I didn't really get after it like I am thinking I want to with a 440 in a Dart.
Please school me.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

How much power, how fast and what is your budget?

In general, nothing wrong with a 727, but for heavy duty work, it will need some basic mods. Too many being used in S/S applications to bother debating.
A lot might depend on the Q's that Iowan asked.

The SS 727s use 904 parts same with the sockers, but if you have 900 hp plus and need a three speed auto go 400 same with a PG, you can get a case to bolt up to a BB and not need a shield.$$$$$

At that level you will need an aftermarket block!

The reason I asked the questions is there are 9 and 8 second cars on the street now.
In the 70s 12s was fast!

I agree. power levels is what will make them or break them.. But when you say Street / Strip.. I think they hold up good depending on what the combo is..
But if you start braking parts... Thats a new town with a different story.

He is entry level but needs to decide how fast is goles are, I would hate to spent 4 or 5 K on a trans/converter only to have to start over at a new power level.

why not spend the money up front if you plan on going 9s and get a 400 and be done!
My "10.5" motor will go 9s and I wish I had a th400 behind it. I have to by a converter for the 727 and I think its a WAST of money.
