727 soaks up a lot of HP and weights quite a bit more, one reason we love small blocks is the weight saveings and the 904 is a bonus weight saveings as well as the lower 1st and 2nd gears. To make a 727 as light and get the lower gears for it is going to cost a fortune and it will still take more HP to turn everything
