Based on my past experiences, I kinda know what spare parts I will need to bring, but if anything major like the 727 goes completely out, I am not capable of rebuilding that on the side of the road. But my kill list looks a lot like the standard stuff most people kill on DW, rocker arms, push rods, valve springs, fuel pumps...Most of that I can handle if I can find a Hemi on head valve spring compressor.


If you've ever rebuilt a 727 I think you could do it on the side of the road, there's really only one specialized tool, the front clutch spring compressor, and that can be improvised .


In my case I don't use a trailer and don't have the room to carry full a full size jack and 4 full size jack stands that are required to get the trans out. I have accepted that unless in the right place at the right time transmission problems would end the event for me. Same with anything below the cylinder heads. I don't want ever want to bow out but I don't and can't carry the right stuff to do heavy service.
