My GTX was 3200lbs and made over 1200hp on the hose. On a 29.5 x 10.5 tire. I shelled everything that could be shelled in a 727. When it got to the point of buying expensive aftermarket output shaft, I threw in the towel and went to a glide. For a 3 speed, the Turbo 400 would be the way to go. They can be built to withstand over 3000hp. It doesn't take a lot for them to hold 1500 with relative ease
So th400 can be built in a SFI case so no shield is needed? I assume an adapter plate of some sort is available for mopar bell bolt pattern? And a spacer on the crank? Will it be bulkier that a 727 with a shield as in floor mods required? And after those extras it will still be cheaper than a full tilt 727? Seriously I am just asking as I need to know for my own build.
