Slant 727 WIW

I have a slant six Dodge truck as well, and a 904 is NOT going to hold up as well in a truck if you work it as the 727 will. I agree that in an A body it is extra weight, but there are people besides A body owners too.

If you are going to pull a trailer that is true as well. People do not realize that the loads on a transmission come more from the inertia of the vehicle than the crankshaft.

As I said I'd really like to have a 518 for the fourth gear, but there is no G pattern 518 and the UltraBell people will not make one so that route is out.

On an A body the Australians routinely put various five and six speed Japanese manuals behind slants, the Hemi Six and LA motors and they can't tear them up. I've never seen that here. Maybe someone down under will chime in here.
