727 No forward or reverse

I had cheap converter, previous owner of my car saved everywhere.
Since purchase I had to get:
- new timing set
- new valves and full head work
- new cam with lifters
- new rockers
- new pushrods
- new alternator
- new water pump
- new fuel pump
- full carb rebuild
- full front and rear suspension rebuild
- new starter
- new exhaust (excluding headers)
- new spark plug wires
- new spark plugs
- new ignition
- lots of work on electrical
- new battery
- new distributor
- new master cylinder
- all new hard and soft brake lines
- new front spindles
- disc brake conversion kit
- full trans rebuild
- new converter

Also tons of body work as car was just bondo over rust. I got taken for a ride and trying to sort this car out since. I still somehow really like the damn thing! Also I like wrenching on it, the only problem is money...

Places where I see no savings are forged bottom end of the motor (wiseco pistons, h beam rods, forged crank), transmission internals, rear end seems solid 3,75" with 4,11 gears. Conversion kit for big block is nice Schumacher setup, headers are TTI, and frame connectors are done well.

Converter was cheap Summit unit I guess, cant find bill for it in cars paperwork.
