    Manual to auto swap

    Excellent information I will pull the converter just to make sure its a non lockup. The converter in it now DOES have the weight on it which was one of the first things I checked after I found out about the weighted converter 360s needed. I have the Numbers off the side of the tranny if anyone...

    Manual to auto swap

    Aj the tranny isn't anything special its just a 727. t has the long tailshaft and everything. Not a short shaft like an RV or anything. I think I have a picture of it somewhere but theres no external signs it came out of a 4x4. Looks like a car tranny to me. If someone could run the numbers on...

    Manual to auto swap

    I haven't been able to find a lot of info on this tranny but what I did find is its a non lockup out of a 4x4 truck. I figured it was a lock up as well considering the age but it appears I got lucky. So cruising at the stall RPM or just under wont overheat it?

    Manual to auto swap

    Ok so what the book on hotrodding small blocks is true but doesn't affect me? I wont have to pull out the bushing or anything? The transmission is an 80s 727 if that matters. So is the 360 if that matters also. Just want to be clear on this. Also, if I get a 2400-2500 stall will I be able to...

    Manual to auto swap

    OK so I'm doin an engine swap in my early A, going from slant 6 to 360. Well the 360 is out of a truck that had a factory manual behind it and I'm putting a 727 on it instead. Sounds ok right? Well, I ran across a section on crankshafts in "how to hotrod small block mopars" I believe and it made...

    727 casting numbers help

    Can anyone confirm or deny? If I have a 318 flex plate and converter would buying an externally balanced flex plate from say B&M fix my issue or do I actually need a different converter?

    727 casting numbers help

    I'll have to check that thank you for the pic. Isn't this issue easily resolved by using a B&M externally balanced flex plate? It's the 3/4 circle zinc plated one they have.

    727 casting numbers help

    Ya I know the transmission is the same outside of the external balanced flex plate and/or converter. The guy I got it from said it came from a 360 and while he never said it was the factory tranny that came on that 360, I got the impression from that was the case. So if it is a 318 tranny, I...

    727 casting numbers help

    I was told it was an 85 model out of a truck so close enough but I was told it was a Trans from a 360. I have no way of verifying this without dissecting the numbers. It has the convertor and flex plate attached, is there any clues on those parts I can look at to know if they are off a 360? I...

    Transmission section for engine swap

    I've got a 68 904 that might be in good shape from an old project. Will that transmission work on my 360 without having to beef it up? My swap budget isn't enough to include a beef up of a transmission. Now Ive heard to beef up a 904 I can use certain 727 parts so maybe I could do it that way...

    Transmission section for engine swap

    Ok since I didn't get much info from the early A section I'll ask here. I'm doing a 360 swap in my early A and it came with a 84 727 from a truck. I assume this is a lockup converter transmission and doing the research it seems like it would do better with mileage but not sure about how it will...
