I want to replace a 904 with a 727 (small block) with TTI headers, will it fit without modifications other than the driveshaft? 340 in a 72 Cuda. TIA, Jon

Different car but I have a 727 and TTI headers on my '89 Diplomat AHB and no fitment problems. Car was originally an A999 trans.
Facts are stubborn things.

You'll need a balanced flex plate, shorter drive shaft and 727 slip yoke. Trans should go right in without any tunnel or header modifications. B&M 10235 Assuming you don't have weights on the torque converter for the 727. The converter will not interchange between the two transmissions.

I do know about the power loss, but I can't seem to keep a 904 together. I have a SB 727, and know about the balance and such but just wanted to know if there would be a problem with the headers. I have been looking for a 998 or 999 non lockup, but they are pretty scarce.

You know you can build a 904 to take some serious horsepower. I know a few of them running 10's and one is running in the mid 9's Just saying you can build what you have and keep all your other components the same. Gus

I'm not sure yet, I was driving about 35 nice and easy, I felt what I thought was I drove over something hard and looked in the rear view mirror for something on the ground and turned around to find it. I didn't find anything but as I gave it some throttle very easy there was a very pronounced thunk thunk thunk. I would still move, so with just coasting and super light on the throttle to try and keep it moving it would thunk thunk thunk. Let up on throttle and coasts smooth, just touch throttle very slightly and thunk thunk thunk. At first I thought I had broken the snout off the Torque converter, pulled the transmission and torque converter looks fine. It was a slow thunk thunk thunk so I pulled the differential and it looks good. The driveshaft looks good and the u joints look good. Any suggestions.? Oh, and all the mounts look good. Some slight mods on the engine, just guessing 350-375 HP.

I prefer durability over speed so once a 904 dies I usually go 727 and never look back. Unless it's behind a 318. Change that to "EVEN IF" it's behind a 318!
