I know this is not your question, but are you doing it yourself? In our area Jeff Russel is the go to guy (in case you don't know him) - he is a fellow Mopar racer. He is in Liberty Indiana so not a bad drive from Cincy.
I believe he still charges $150 to go through a 727 plus parts. He does all my trannies and 8 3/4 setups. He has never let me down and he is a straight shooter.

if all your wanting is a mild daily driver just sell the race tranny and buy a used stock unit throw a refresh at it and call it a day Or simply replace the governor parts, can be done in the car.

Most likely you will want to upgrade the governor to higher upshift (lighter) aftermarket pieces anyway. A&A has them.

I don't get the fascination with manual valve bodies. Why not get a proper manual gearbox instead? 3 pedals are too confusing?
Same. Always viewed street mvb users as manual tranny wannabees.

Same. Always viewed street mvb users as manual tranny wannabees. I've ran quite a few shift kitted Trans-Go TF-2 modified 727's and was never happy with the 2-3 shift and the jankety Mopar kickdown linkage required for doing it this way. I still build quite a few for friends this way with higher upshift governors. They absolutely love them. Personally, I can tell you that the 2-3 shift in my Cheetah mvb feels much better. In addition, I eliminated the kickdown linkage and I can start out in 2nd gear. This really helps in street race style events or where you have to use a true street radial for a class. It's all about what you do with the car and personal taste. My car still has a clutch pedal and I considered an 833 but, for me, the 727 was much cheaper and more consistent.

Same. Always viewed street mvb users as manual tranny wannabees. can you start off in 4th gear ( 1:1) like i can in third ( 1:1)? besides, i like pushing buttons, a big funky stick would look stupid in my car.

I drove a street car with a converted full manual VB (Chrysler instructions, separator plate, transfer plate) in 1970. Hated it - got pulled over many times for smoking the tires on the 1-2 shift with light throttle. Couldn't drive it on wet pavement unless the steering wheel was centered or it would loop on the shift. Same problem with my DD now (dangerous when wet), except it retains full auto upshift and kick-down.
