what a train wreck of a thread 
They ALL are when it comes to Mopar vs ANY other kind of parts. The "purists" get their knickers in such a wad at the mere thought of having a non Mopar part, that the "FACTS" that are then relayed are nothing more than blind "brand loyalty" and in reality have NOTHING to do with real world FACTS.
You see this the BEST in any Mopar vs GM trans debate. The Dana vs 9" debates and the pinion angel threads........LOL!!!
Most of these threads, to get any meaningful info from them, require a user to have the rarest of ALL SUPER powers......the power of applying COMMON SENSE........LOL!!!!

I don't hear Ford and GM racers crying about having to run a Proflite in the record holding vehicles.
They just do it and set records.
As a matter of fact, Ford and GM racers seem to embrace every part that becomes available, including cylinder head and block configurations that were not assembly line offered.
They just buy it and go fast.
Then......at the end of the day they call it a Ford, Chevy, Pontiac, etc. and so does everyone else. It appears it's mainly in the MOPAR world that legions of the faithful get their panties in a bunch if the aftermarket deviates too far from the "Purple Shaft" cam.

Nah........sometimes I like to just  to get the natives restless. Makes me laugh  when I get stressed out. After all, you have to liven it up sometime. I mean how many E head and purple shaft cam threads can one read before he needs a little excitement.......LOL!!!!....In case you haven't noticed, I am very much an "against the grain" kinda guy.......HAHA!!!

This is true but who said anything about the OP being a heads up car?
Sure the 400 makes the most sense but maybe that's not what he wants. The question was about a 727 capable of handling the power.

Im sure a th400 would be a better tranny for this situation but I have seen plenty of 1000 h.p. plus cars running 727's if thats what he wants.

I dont understand you guys and your 1 wire alt... so if it quits you just go buy a new one even if its the internal regulator... I use the external regulator for a purpose.. if the reg quits I put on another and I do have a spare or two... yes if the alt quits then I buy a alt.. but at least I have a choice and maybe I can be back on the road in a couple of minutes

So you're saying he doesn't have to have a $10K Turdo 400?

Just for some experience comments on this subject.
First I'm no trans expert, but I will tell you I've never regretted swapping to GM based transmissions, glide/400's. I have 4 cars with GM's and 1 still with a 727. When that one next needs service it'll go on the shelf and a 400 will replace it for the following reasons, many already stated.
First, parts availability
Second, converter options are LIMITLESS with a GM
Third, durability I have never seen (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, understood)a 727 in a truly evil car. What i do see is 2 speed 400's, glides, and brunos ect used by people way more speed savvy than I will ever be. They do it for a reason, I'm sure.
Fourth, COST. Better parts for less money, with no personalities to be dealt with to acquire them. Order up, pay up, and you're done. Also 400's and glides fit in a Mopar better than a 727 (fact)
On the subject of loyalty, Should Mopar decide to pick up the trans bill for me, I'd proudly run a mopar trans. Since that burden rests solely in my hands, I'll spend my money on what best serves ME.
