Last fall I paid $1200 for the rebuild of my 727. That included a bunch of internal parts because it was in pretty bad shape. Came with a new 2500 rpm converter and I told him it needs to hold up to 500+ lb-ft of torque (future engine) so it got a bolt in sprag. I think that was pretty fair pricing. I did the R&R of the transmission and dropped it off to save the ~$300 labor for them to do it.

I just had my (c. 1965 model) 727 done 6 months ago, and included a rebuild kit, later-model pump & direct drum, a shift kit, accumulator piston, and front planet 4 pinion - total bill was $875 (parts $575, labor $300, 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty), and that was without a torque converter. I bought a B&M separately, for $370.

I'm having a big block stroker motor built that I'm guesstimating will be about 600 HP. I have a currently stock 727 trans. from a 440 HP motor that I will be using with it that I need to have gone through and upgraded to handle the increased HP. I've never had a trans. done like this before so I have no idea what to expect price-wise. I haven't got any quotes yet but if it's like everything else, I expect there to be a range in the prices I am quoted. So what I would like to know is, what do you think a fair price would be to have this work done? IMHO I would consider John Cope/CRT for your needs, I've sent quite a few customers his way, and all have been more than pleased with the product/service and pricing over the years

I would have Joe at TranzAct build your transmission. I will also say that he top three MoPar trans. builders are in Indiana. TranzAct, A&A and Cope. Not listed in any particular order.

They aren't hard to rebuild and the stock stuff can handle a decent power level. Northern auto for a rebuild kit, wit or some others for bands, get a bolt in sprag if you want it and the TF book. There is a series on youtube from a shop in Australia that does a performancce rebuild on a 727. Good resource. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzJhCBZ1wMYLots of BS black magic regarding building mopar transmissions. They are probably the easiest to get done. Save money on the trans rebuild and spend that money on a great converter that will REALLY make a difference in how the car runs.

Even well after the day of sale . Costs were not much more than I planned for a stock build.
