But he can do a 727 himself with what he has there for probably under $25. That's the cost of a reseal kit and filter. Redrill a couple holes in the separator plate and go racing. Put the money in a converter, not some giant thing out of a New Yorker. But lots of 3/4 ton trucks have high stall converters when they run low rear gears. Spend the saved dollars on the rearend.
