A body trans shield/blanket for Big Block 727 - 09/29/15 06:32 PM

Are you guys using a shield or blanket for your A bodies with a BB and 727. I currently am using an RCI blanket, but I'm using TTI headers and its a really tight fit, was thinking of switching to a shield. Any recommendations for ease of fitting?

I had the same problem as you. The headers would fry the straps on the blanket. I ended up getting a blanket and taking it to an automotive upholstery shop and they shortened it. The top of the blanket covers the transmission, but the straps are not anywhere near the sides of the header tubes. There was someone that used to sell them this way, but I don't know who it was. Last time I tried calling that company they said they didn't make them anymore.

Probably who you're thinking of is Lofgren Auto Specialties. Last I heard they weren't making them anymore.

CSR shield has straps too. I had to cut my floor in my small block/727 combo in our Duster.



Certainly made life easier to r/r the trans.
