I get a show of hands? How many guys tossing around opinions on this have actually had a 727, 904, C-4, C-6, Turbo 400, Turbo 350, and Glide apart on a build table and know what makes each one tick? Just wondering aloud. Forgive me if I think that has merit in this discussion.
Never had those on the table, but, my 727 broke on relatively low hp. Never blew a 904. Buddy's Turbo 400 aka never fails. I've puked a turbo 350. Stock glide damn near bulletproof but HEAVY for a 2-speed. C4/C6/FMX is absolute garbage, as my buddies 67 stang can attest too. But by far the strongest tranny I ever seen was a stock 4L80e. Any stock tranny that lives behind a 1000+hp Truck deserves respect. Next 360 I do is getting the 4L60e (same bellhousing as a turbo 350/400).
That said I understand the purest who wants to run only Mopar parts and that's great! But I never had a guy look under mt cars to see what trans I'm running. And if they do and complain.. well buy it and put whatever you want.
