one of the most complete kits is from transtar kits from northerautoparts.com
special tools...you need snap ring pliers..
a tool to compress the front clutch pac to remove and replace seals....can be home made or bought.
need to be able to drive out old bushing from front drum..pump..tail shaft.... bushing drivers kit is expensive..but you could take those 3 parts and bushing to a trans shop and they could knock them in and out in a couple of minutes...
the 727 is an easy trans to rebuild...there are a couple of good books available and a video is available.

CRT has everything you could ever need or want plus the customer service is second to none.
Not to many special tools are required. Most I made my self out of scrap laying around.
First thing I would recomend buying is the 727 Handbook by Carl Munroe.
Where are you in Ohio? If your close enough you could even bring it by my house and I can teach you how to do one.

I used to have a copy, it was a great book. Cost like 10-15 bones off ebay.

In my opinion, a Torqueflite is the easiest automatic trans to rebuild Ive done so many, I cant even remember half of them. Actually, I would say the 833 is the easiest stick trans Ive ever done...compared to an M20, M21, M22, and T5. Go Mother Mopar!

You can get the handbook from CRT as well.

BTW Just saw that Bill posted... I gotta take the easy shots...
FWIW I read your saga & I felt bad for ya.. And I know at this point you know 727's better than most...
It's all good.
You should see some of the flak I get from memebers in person. Everyone seems to like getting their shots in on me.
All that said, I wouldn't change any of it even if I could. I'm sure my saga helped someone and I also think many of the members who have looked me up a the track and said Either know me becuase of that or my pics.
Also bear in mind, I'm keeping a list

clean the outside of the case spotless BEFORE you start, keeps dirt from making its way inside as you go back together(trust me on that one). A long table so you can seperate out the assy's & keep everything in order & take notes on which sides of things go to which side (like spacers/thrust washers etc) also put a dial indicator on the front pump shaft & measure the end play before you begin.
live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
