thoughts on new 727

[rare69]

looking to buy a new automatic trany for my 496 stroker motor.and don't trust anybody around here to build one.the motor has 553 horsepower and 660 pd ft of torque, don't need a full race trany,its going to be a street car.but would like to buy one that will hold up.need the converter stall speed to be 2500.any thoughts on what to buy?

Don't give up on the local trans shops. Don't go to a big name place, look for a small shop thats in to racing. My trans guy has a few pictures of his drag car in the office. B & M sounds good but the race ones will shift too hard. I would look around your town, the 727 is a great trans that been around along time, so you might find something by your house.

Don't go to TCI. Try Cope. I have heard good things about them.

Also, check with RalleyeMike at this thread:  http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,14074.0.html

For the record....and my opinion from experience......TCI trannies blow goats!!!

[General_01]

From my recent experience too. That's why I said don't go with TCI.

I just had mine rebuilt with TransGo TF2 shift kit. Not sure how much power it'll hold but I guess Ill find out when it breaks

I had a local guy to the TH400 in my SS Chevelle after I blew the first one up, not a problem since.  He's been building race trannys for 30+ years and he'll build you whatever you want.  I'll be taking the 727 from my 69 to him this summer for a rebuild.  Prices are pretty reasonable too.  It cost me just over a grand for a pro street built TH400 with an ATI converter.

I called A&A trans and had Rick Allison build one for me. He also had Dynamic build me a 9 1/2 inch 3500 stall converter. It only stalls to 1800-2200 at part throttle. I love all of it. I would have him build another if I ever need one. They are in many of the magazines. He's in Indiana.  If you don't like what he has to say then go with someone else. aandatrans.com  He does love his Chrysler transmissions.

hey, thanks for all the help guy's i think i will just buy ralley mikes trany and learn to shift backwards. 

[dodge freak]

It easier than shifting forward. No worry about hitting neutral when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Once you get used to it you won't want to go back.

[Ghoste]

A&A or Cope.  I think A&A make a lot of the specialty parts that the other race shops use don't they?

[deputycrawford]

Ghoste, Yes, I think they do. I got mine with a forged drum instead of the powdered metal drum. I got many other things and it still shifts on its own If I choose. They also have different shift fork ratios etc. Check them out.http://aandatrans.com/

well i made the drive to seattle and bought ralley mikes cope racing trany, looks really nice! and seemed like a really nice guy with mopars all around the place which told me he must be a pretty good guy.
