/6 904 to 727

i was curious if my /6 column shift will work with my 727? will i have to change anything or will it hook up just fine?

thanks

The 904 and 727 use the same basic valve body and shift lever but the 904 is a smaller diameter trans. so my guess is the linkage that goes over to the shift lever will be a little too short. But that's just my best edumacated guess since I haven't ever done the swap. Good luck.

FWIW - I used the original 904 shift linkage on my BB Demon project.

ok cool, what was your original set up in the demon?

I did this swap a couple years ago.
Fishy is on the right track with the 727 being bigger. The cross shaft has to be longer to reach the 904. So you can shorten it to fit the 727. about an inch if my memory serves me.
There also seems to be an A-body specific pivot bracket that goes on the 727. (at least I've only found it on an A body)
The ears on the trannys are located at just slightly different heights, But I would imagine you can get away with using the 904 bracket.
The cross shaft would just be off by a little angle. I can get a pic of what the one I have looks like tomorrow.

here are the pics I said I would get.
