I had a mild 440 in my 'Cuda and built a 727 for it using the Transtar kit with Raybestos clutches and a TransGo TF-2 shift kit. I also used the cheapest Wal-Mart sourced Type-F fluid I could get my hands on.

I beat the snot out of that transmission doing block long smokey burnouts with it and lots of time idling in traffic. I didn't cut it any slack.

I pulled apart the transmission about 8 years after building it since I sold the car to a friend and he was replacing the 440 with a stroked Hemi.

The clutches looked brand new and there was virtually no wear anywhere in the transmission. Even the "Raybestos" logo and the date code were clearly visible on the clutches!

Some times more expensive isn't always better..
