Looking for some understanding here fellas- I have read that the 518 is an overdrive version of the 727. To me then I would assume that the 518 is just as strong as a 727. Is this true? If not, why?
Not sure if you have a big or smallblock engine to put in front of it, but don't forget all 518 transmissions have a smallblock bellhousing.
Good catch, this will be behind a Gen III hemi so at least that part is figured out.
Why not use the NAG1 5-speed transmission? I know the controller is expensive, but the transmissions are supposed to be pretty tough?
Someday, I need to get going on my 6.1L NAG1 transplant project...
