How many of you that have replied have exploded a 727? I am not talking about poping the top of the case off.I mean shooting the case,drum,retaining clip for the drum,clutch material,plus chunks of who knows what through the blanket,and car.this has been a timely thread going on for a while on here. I choose to run a turbo 400 now.just my choice.Cheaper than a 727 & stronger. I have seen plenty of c-6's hold up to a ton of power with a few low buck parts in them. You can make anything hold up with enough money in it. But then why?I thought this was supposed to whats safe & affordable....

I don't see anybody here claiming TF's don't explode, I've got a whole photo album devoted to them. Quote: just my choice.Cheaper than a 727 & stronger Stronger? I'll buy that but cheaper? Quote: I have seen plenty of c-6's hold up to a ton of power with a few low buck parts in them. Maybe so but that doesn't mean "the c-6 is better than a 727" like you claim in your first reply. Of the big three 3-speed automatics the C-6 has the weakest case, so much so they sell a pan girdle for them and I've seen a high pressure C-6 blow the side of the case out taking the band adjust screw with it.

A few years back I remember reading this article about a fastback Chevy II Nova (yes, you read that correctly) that had a 727 behind its Chevy motor. http://www.superchevy.com/features/nova/sucs_0700_chevy_ii_nova_funny_car/viewall.html "When I'm in a slump, I comfort myself by saying if I believe in dinosaurs, then somewhere, they must be believing in me.

I don't see anybody here saying that "everything else is bad" and I'll counter your measly three pics with a whole album of TF mayhem. http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563387085NzMVcm The point being...they all blow up, that's why sanctioning organizations require shields on ALL BRANDS.

Scary pictures! Carnage and destruction. If anyone needs some motivation to build a modernized, billet drum 727, with a shield...viewing your album should definitely seal the deal.

That fact let GM cars run 904's in the Stocker classes... I had one with the Iron Duke/904 in it. I also believe the 6 cylinder Mail Jeeps had 727's in them. They were hodgepodged vehicles, I think they had Ford-styled ignition/distributor setups, Dana axles, etc...pretty much whatever AM General could get for cheap.

I don't think the bell housing pattern is the same though. There are a few adapters out there, I would just go with one of those. Or try Pro Trans in California Alan Jones
