I`m wondering what is the best rebuild kit for a 727 ? It will be going in a 73 challenger with a 440. Will a rebuild kit from my local auto store be good to go? Is one brand better than the rest? Made in USA ? Thanks for the help .

Another vote for the Transtar kits. I've used ~20 of those over the years to rebuild 727's and never had a single issue!

Many of the parts in various brand kits all come from the same place.

Is the kit I used last time and cheap kevlar bands as in price vs other places. If I wanted to be cheap I would just use another 727 I got laying around that would be free
