Remember guys he said 600hp not 1600hp
No Need to go wasting money.
My car stripped the planets at not much above 600 horse a few years ago in a pro built (JPT)tranny.
The list that John had i think included the steel planet as a upgrade.
At the end of the day, all the hard parts are what 30 years od and were never intended for 600+ horse high torque use on a regular basis.
Sure you might get lucky, but it just a matter of time, as i found out. When those tranny's were made a 4+ inch crank was decades from even being thought about in the smallblock world. As far as big blocks, i am not sure.

I've seen a 500 hp small block scatter a 727 like it was made of fine china.
Is this topic about a BLOW-UP or BULLET "proof" 727 ?
From what I know .... the only way to BLOW UP a 727 is to have a sprag fail then the front drum come apart. The "cure" there ? ... a drum that will withstand 2.5 engine rpms. .......Correct ?
BULLETproof ? .... aka lasting forever ?? .... at some of the prices some of these rebuilders want -- I would hope that these trannies last until the year 2100 !!

"None of them have anywhere near the trouble free operation that my A&A built 727 had. My car=3700lb, 3.50 rear gear,8.85/155 best"  I also have a 727 filled with A&A parts and although it was $$$ it is staying together and works flawlessly for the past 2 years and we race almost every Friday night during the summer. 70 Sport Satellite, 3550 with driver,572 Motor with A&A Transbrake,1.31 60 fts. 8.87/156 mph  Mike p.s. Rick Allison is also a very nice guy.

I must be lucky, I have never lost a 727. The are brutal strong, very little aftermarket parts. Better band, Low band apply Valve Body, basic transmission tricks. Run one season after season, no trouble ever. Between 600-700hp, in cars 3000-3500 lbs. I always have always used blanket or sheild too.
I switched to a PowerGlide this year, they are very strong, and cheap to build also, only thing aftermarket I added in these trannys is Clutch hub, duel ring servo, valve body, good clutches, deep pan etc, stock 1.76 planets etc. Stock Cases are very weak, hard to find one that isn't cracked somewere. About one out of half dozen was good.

Same goes for the glides. Seen many broken ones over the years.

I got a buddy that used to break a glide every time he went to the track. He even broke the ones from Mikes I think it is out of California. They were like 3500 a pop 10 years ago. Never did get to see it make a full pass. But I did see him stab it about 3 times one night an run a 4.80 in the 1/8 some kind of a Rodac with a 871 in a 40 ford pickup.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

216-281-0303 Benny.. Sorry, wish I had more. He does 727's, 904's, fabbed 904's with pushbuttons. Call, you will like.  Ask him for the birthday special. Not saying anyone else here can't build one, but I've had the same car for 26 years, and have only had 2 tranny's in it, a street, and a race/street, both from him. You will stay in the triple digits for the build. But, there is definately talent here on the board.
