I have a 518 here waiting for its call to service. But, according to another post here, the conversion bell housings are back ordered big time.
Master, again and still

Ultrabell bellhousings for BB mopar will not be available until next hear at the earliest.... They are changing foundries and the change will take time so they say.... I hope they are not coming over on a slow boat from china?? Soooooo... I guess I have to chomp up my spare 727 for the bellhoising to install on my A-518....... Anybody have any pointers on how to do this reasonably accurately??

can you put the 518 guts and tailshaft on a 727 case??
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

given the desire for something like this, it's amazing there aren't more favorable options by now.
Or maybe there isn't that much demand after all? It does require cash and floor modification.

The easiest and possibly least costly/hassle is 727 with Gear vendors. From there you have the 518 unit which was behind the a-motors, diesels and v10. Next would be the Kiesler gm based unit or the gm based unit from TCI. Big bucks on those two. On the 518, depending on what year you use and preferably 95 and older, you have lock up converters or non lock up. The non lock up was used on the v8's I believe till 90 or 91 and on the diesel till 93. Past 94 they are all lockup. A custom lockup converter will be more dough than non of course. You don't want to use a reman stocker. Hand grenade in waiting. If you find a diesel or v10 unit, thay have heavier duty internals on the planetaries, drums, more clutches[ like a hemi] on all packs. You can update the v8 trans with these parts but its an added expense. Lock up trans will require two switches to operate the lock up and od, non lockup just need one for lock up. 96 on trans is full electronic and expensive to retrofit because it need a stand alone trans controller. Pick your poison. I went 727 w/gv.
