350
 

well a little burdie told me that a 350 with a turbo 400 will be better off than a 360 with 727 trans. Would that be even possible? Any insight would be great

With a what? You can bolt a 350 to a 727 with a bellhousing and torque convertor adaptors. I wouldn't waste my money though.

really what kind of maddness is this?

Well said.:mad:

ok
 

so you all are saying that a 360 w? 727 is better than 350. What kind of mods would i have to do? As far as i know the 360 should bolt up easy and the tranny with it it should be easy as pie. As for the 350 it was just spoken word and and i wanted feeback before i did something crazy like that.

I will forewarn you.... you will probably be castrated for talking about that kind of stuff here.

Better how though?

If you build a C&%$y 350 and a Dodge 360 (lets say 1970 motors) the exact same way with the specs as close as posible to eachother, I'd be willing to bet that the 350 will be cheaper overall. Only reason is because there are so many out there and such a high demand for them.

As far as which one to bolt up to a 727, hands down the 360 is easier because it came factory like that for years. Anytime you start to mix and match different manufacturers, the cost of that build will go up.

ok ok
 

I seethe problem here i am in the wrong. I just heard this blastphemy so i was just seeing the response. 360/727 is the way and forever it wll be the way.

im a little lost. you where asking if the chevy set up is better than the mopar set up?

350/400
360/727
the 727 takes less hp from the wheels than the t400, also the 727 is a stronger tanny

ok
 

either
360/727
350/400


I know one is easier but which one should i be worried about fixing if it were to break. I just want to do this once and once only. i know everybody has there preference but just want some guidance.

I am going to ask the question... What is this combo going in ?

It all depends on what its going in as to how hard or how easy the combo is. If it came with a 360/727 go with that. It would be a lot easier to do that than convert everything over. Mopar will cost you a little more than the chevy products.

my bad
 

37 plymouth sedan.

Well man, you gotta go Mopar in Mopar. Whoever is telling ya to run a Cheby small block in a Mopar...slap em for all of us here.:D

To add to my quote.... I deal a lot more with chevys cuz my dad is a chevy man, i love the mopars though. I think the chevy is easier (cuz i deal a lot more with them then mopar stuff) and it is cheaper. Also if it did break its a lot easier and a lot less expensive to get parts just cuz there is so much chevy stuff that will interchange. But like is said before the converstion might be a problem. So it all depends you can get more horsepower in a chevy for about the same amount you can get less horsepower out of mopar.

P.S. Dont bash me cuz like i said i am a mopar fan, its just reality.

No offense but I am not a fan of your so called "reality"

alrighty then
 

seems we have a few conflicting people but all info is greatly appreciated and i will be going with the 360. Chevy as a back up if all else fails. Thank you all again.

Good call my friend.:D
Hey how about some pics of the 37 ???

Rod it, and put in an old Hemi! http://www.dealsonwheels.com/images/...40226E02_1.jpg

Regardless of the manufacturer, using the same basic parts, you will always have more HP from a larger Cubic inch engine than a smaller cubic in engine. Or you could be a belly button and use the 350/350, cause everyone's doing it.

Also, you might take into consideration an ad that Chrysler ran many many years ago... "Chrysler Motor Corporation would like to thank Ford and GM for using OUR engines in YOUR race cars". Of course they were talking about hemis, but it's all the same engineering.

Everyone needs to realize that Grant lives in his and only his "reality". J/k bro. :D

You can build the 360 and 727 to be very reliable and very strong at the same time. It all depends on if you are willing to put the money and time into them. Definitely a good choice going with the 360/727 though.

Chevy may be cheaper, but you get what you pay for!

chevy equals $HIT plain and simple and scotty that cars so hot looking

the 350/th350 combo should be referred to from here on out as the ace and gary...

nice rod but why not just jam a 392 hemi between there :)

the pic i posted? :eek:

Okay went with the 360 and finding he 727 manual is a pain but now it comes down to the front and rear ends. 9 in exploder and mustang front end? suggestions.

Are you trying to find a book on the 727 ?
Carl Munroe has a decent book on the subject, you can find it at Amazon

727
 

No manual. the tranny itself. They sell automatics all day but finding a stick is a pain

So am I to understand you're looking for a manual 727 ?
That may be a little hard to find...lol

727
 

They got to be out there somewhere. I can get used ones for about 1k but just checking my options.
