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.

Pick up the Munro book and doing yourself is not that difficult. The book is really helpful. Bulkparts.com used to be a good place to buy the parts, don't know if they are still around

I did mine myself (my first rebuild) and it was a piece of cake. IMO, it was harder to pull/install the tranny than to rebuild. I checked out a book from of the Indpls Public Library, which may be the same one referred to earlier. I believe that I have less than 250 bucks invested in the rebuild, including the Trans-go shift kit. Good luck.

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 are going to have to either buy some specialty tools or be handy and make some.

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.
Thats gonna leave a mark... 
I used to have a copy, it was a great book. Cost like 10-15 bones off ebay.
Everyone seems to like getting their shots in on me. 
Either know me becuase of that or my pics.
