Rebuilding 727, need tips on parts

[phantom]

Hey.

So the reverse band broke in my 727, so i was thinking, when i now have dismantled the whole transmission, i might as well upgrade it.

What parts do you recommend i put in? Bolt-in sprag, any recommendations? Cluchpacks, Red Eagle? Billet servos, any particular brand? Shiftkit?

Thanks

Depends what's in front of it for an engine ?  hp/trq, shift rpm and what you want in shift quality. etc.

IMO, John Kunkel will give good rec's, if he doesn't see this and reply on his own then maybe shoot him a pm ?

440, dynoed at 424hp and 661Nm at the crank. People i've talked to say i should prepare it in case i want more power later. But i only use it on the street, never dragracing.

All the upgrade parts you mention are nice if you want to spend the money but a stock rebuild with good parts and a TF-2 reprogramming kit is all you really need. Red Eagle clutches and Kolene steels are nice along with red-lined bands, I'm not a fan of Kevlar bands.

Thanks But would it be smart to change the reverse servo to a billet at least? Heard it is a weak link in the trans. Will it cope with 450-500hp?

Failure of the rear servo piston isn't related to HP, they can fail in a /6 transmission when subjected to higher line pressure which comes with a performance build. Sure, if it makes you feel better go for the billet piece...not that expensive.

Street car doing burnouts, i would upgrade the sprag and drum if i were spending money. And an a&a shield cause i like my ankles.
