My 69 Dart Project
I loved having the 360LA but it was a bit “tired” and I still really wanted a big block. So I continued working on the transmission and engine.
I purchased a “slightly used” BB 727. There was a bit of material in the pan so I decided I was going to rebuild it myself. Bought a Tom Hand book, rebuild kit from A&A and went at it. Little did I know the trans had a Cheetah reverse manual valve body! I did notice the housing was cracked due to a previous owner sinking a pan bolt on the neutral switch. Thankfully, I so happen to live about 5 miles from Andrews Racing Transmissions. I purchased a new housing and some other parts from him and he was kind enough to answer some of my stupid questions. Awesome guy to deal with, definitely look him up if you have any transmission needs. Anyways, got the trans rebuilt, no real issues.
