Smallblock 904 to 727 Conversion Questions

[Beer]

Thanks to all who provided feedback in my poll

The transmission is the next item for my 73 Charger.  

Having discussed and researched this, the 727 seems to be the favorite pick over the origional 904.
I understand I will have to get the driveshaft shortened about 4 1/8 " or so. And being the 727 is bigger, exhaust piping is gonna be a tad more difficult.

Questions when getting a transmission from B&M or TCI and doing a 904 to a 727 conversion.

I believe the 727 will bolt into the 904 transmission mount/crossmember with no modifications

Here is what I think is needed in addition to the 727 transmission:
The appropriate torque convertor (3000 stall coming as well as the 3.91 gearset   ),
Flexplate (neutral balance/internally balanced engine),
Flexplate bolts and torque convertor bolts  

Is that it for additional parts?

Will the 904 Kickdown work

I recall a block plate (think thats what it called, its a flat metal plate sandwiched between the tranny and the engine) being attached to 904, can I reuse that or do I even need the block plate

From looking at the pictures of the vended transmissions, they do not have the Dipstick tubes or Throttle lever/gearshift control lever. Will the ones from the 904 work or do I need a parts 727 from a yard

Currently leaning towards a TCI Super Streetfighter
From their site:
It is intended for normally aspirated vehicles powered by engines producing up to 600 horsepower.

Super StreetFighterâ,,¢ transmission features are Red Eagle ® clutches, Kolene ® treated steel plates, Red Eagle ®-lined, extra-wide Powerbandsâ,,¢, larger diameter servo assemblies, an improved lubrication system, new sprags/roller clutches (upgraded in certain models), enhanced hard parts where applicable, chrome-plated, TCI ®-logo transmission pan, increased thrust capacity, higher line pressure for extra firm shifts & greater torque capacity with less slippage, as well as being TCI ® factory blueprinted, inspected and dyno tested.

Now my thoughts for the 600 HP tranny is for the potential of running NO2, the engine is forged (and I have a spare RPM Air Gap intake that can be direct port plumbed for NO2 ), the machine shop says the engine could easily handle a 200 shot. I may chose to run a conservative 100 -150 shot (with appropriate timing and window switches as well as fuel pressure switch cut off for NO2) at a later date which will put the 402 stroker at an estimated 564 HP on the bottle.

Thoughts and answers to the questions from the wise men of dodgecharger.com  

Naturally the work will be documented like my 402 thread.

Cheers

Besides shortening the driveshaft, you'll need a different slip yoke for the 727.

TCI and B&M have a less than stellar reputation. You might want to also consider Cope Racing Transmissions, they specialize in Torqueflights.

The present rear mount will work.

Some of the 904 linkage components will work, some won't.

You will need a 727 specific dipstick tube, the dipstick is the same. The throttle/shift levers are the

The metal dust shield is different.
