Who should I buy a 727 or 904 from?

Mad Dart, Because you say that you heard about my “business practices”, and you have drag me and my business through the mud, I feel I must set the record straight. I know that I can not change your mind, but there are 1000s of FABO members here, and as I am also a member here (since 2005) I will show the FABO members that you are dead wrong.

Lets take a look at your “Stout” transmission with “ALL the go fast goodies” Below is a picture of Joes trans that you bought, I see it has a nice black paint job, and I also see that Joe painted over the front seal, and he pained the input shaft and stator shaft? He could not take the time to tape the shafts so no paint get on it? I also see that you bought a deep aluminum oil pan and installed it your self, My trans brake transmission comes with my deep aluminum oil pan, Joes does not. So much for “All the go fast goodies” your words not mine.

I do not paint my transmissions, After all my cases have been hot tanked, they are glass beaded, along with the trail housing, pump cover, input & out put shafts, and many other parts. This process takes much more time and labor than doing a quick rattle can paint job.

I also see in your pictures that Joes uses a cast 2nd gear lever, my 4.2 lever is billet steel, Nothing wrong with a cast lever, but witch one is more “Stout”? I also install a low reverse billet servo, I see you don’t have that. My 2nd gear HD band struts are also billet steel, Is yours?







Now, lets take a look at the inside of one of my units. Here you will see the attention to detail that goes into every one of my units. I send out all the bolts, valve body screws and plates, to be gold irradiate plated, I know, that does not make the trans stronger, or faster, but thats how I want to build my units.
You can also see how nice the case looks when glass beaded, it gives that new look finish.






It is very clear, that there is a difference between the two units, they are not “ The very same transmission for less” your words not mine, I do not rape anyone as you claim. Even Mr. Magoo can see the difference. You get what you pay for.
There is one thing I have learned from Joe, and that is I learned what NOT to do on a build, and how NOT to run a trans shop. Thank you for taking the time to read this. John Cope
