A stock turbo 400 with a brake will take 700 hp almost till the end of time. A bell, some work on the mount, and forget about it.
I have a couple of expensive 727's , and they have there charm in being super simple to work on, and they're lighter than a 400, but once you start making powe,r the relative cost starts on an upward trajectory. A stock 727 with a safe drum will take 700 no problem too, but if your plans include more, and more power in the future, use a 400. IMO Sound advice right there! Add a Reid case and you wont have to worry about the 727 taking your feet out.

I am sure this has been asked before a hundred times. But what’s it cost to switch from a 727 to a turbo 400. I am building a 91 Dakota and have to start building a 904 or 727 for it. I would like to build a 904 for it but don’t even have a transmission etc yet. But I do have a small block 727 case and some left over red alto clutches. But reading about the turbo 400 I am intrested in hearing what the cost Diffrence would be.

My trans is from TranZact in Indy. He has an add that occasionally pops up near the top of the page. Joe is a great guy and I have never had an issue with my trans.

Looks like I have a lot to learn about transmissions. So far I’m getting a lot of different advice. But the obvious is a lba manual valve body, billet steel front drum, and a bolt in sprag. My transmission. Already has a deep pan, and old manual vb and who knows what else. It is a very old drag car build. I need to find some good reading material as well.
