Overdrive Transmission for 630 HP motor

That was a lot more than two-cents worth, but very much appreciated. I had basic knowledge of what you are stating, but this definitely helps. If you're willing to school me on more transmission intelligence, I would absolutely ask for that. As I get closer to the time for the transmission purchase, would you be good if I reach out to speak with you regarding some of the specifics I should be looking for out of the transmission, and who you would recommend building it for me. Thank you again.

I just received a call back from A&A as well, and spoke with them about the points you had brought up in the thread, and they agreed with your assessment regarding using a built 727, gear it correctly, and run a specific converter/rear gear that will put highway cruising RPM's where they're comfortable. After speaking with them about whether they would put the GV overdrive on the tail of the 727, they were of the mindset to build the tranny correctly, and it shouldn't need it. They did mention that it is a very reliable product, so after the original build of the 727, if it didn't match the cruising RPM I was looking for, I could send the transmission back and have the GV unit added.

Once I get all the particulars for the engine figured out, and where the power will take place in the RPM band, if I could reach out and discuss options you'd recommend, that would be extremely helpful.
