The low gear set wasn't in any oem 727. I researched this to the nth degree years ago in between customers at Bloomington Chrysler. I also used the transmission numbers that were International Truck. The 4 pinion front planet isn't necessarially the final answer. 
O.K. surprising , but good to know.
The four pinion is stronger and more desirable if I understand things , but I didn't think it was contingent on ratio.
They were truck and H.D. pieces if I recall , but I am still pretty new to the Pentastar world.
I guess I thought that a small block lugging that big tub of motorhome around would get a low 1st . gear as a matter of principal.
There are aftermarket low gear sets for the 727 ........ these come from later O.D. transmissions ?

Low gear set also change 2nd gear also from what I've have .
I run low gear and a 8" 4400 T.A convertor .
Yes you can get them out of certain stock transmissions .
i believe I stepped up to a aftermaket one that A&A makes now .
I run low gear set and the Coan super sprag and trans brake in both trans now .
Like most say you need to be able to take the hit and traction .
