Are you gonna run a manual valve body in the 727 so you don't have to fool with kickdown linkage? I believe I'd mini tub that sucker to get a bigger tire under it. Traction is probably gonna be in short supply....lol.
I'm going to keep the body as-is for now. The objective was to keep any cutting to a bare minimum, which is why I'm sticking with the 727. We're still going to figure out the engineering on it, but it may require us to go the route of the Bouchilon kickdown kit with the divorced throttle. The neat thing about that is I get to keep my factory throttle pedal... another stealth element!
Basically the shop folks I'm working with are treating my car as a "beta test" to figure out what parts list is needed for a typical A-Body conversion.
