Why are you converting back?

Coan trans has built me 2 727s in the last 7 years and both have been great trans for $600 bucks each plus a core. Handles my bb easy and has lasted 7 years so far. I'm using there convertor also.

I used Coan because I raced with them and was able to drive up to there shop and pickup and drop off my core. Got a tour of the shop also while I was there, great people IMO.

I would be more than willing to swap you all my auto setup for your manual. Just a stock 727 with a shift kit though...

Smart move! 4-speed to Auto = Fewer broken parts, more consistency and faster times!

The only ones that think a 4-speed is faster are folks who have never actually raced a car before and after such a switch.

I love my Auto's!
Both my Hemi car and my Drag car have them!
I did a 4 speed swap on my 68 cuda 2 years ago, It ran great and was a lota fun.
Its hard to be consistent at the track with a 4 speed, I guess you need to be a really good driver.
