The 727 in my Duster has just about given up the ghost. It has leaks I can't fix and I just don't feel comfortable driving the car. I know people are rushing to get ready to race but is there anyone I can order from or rebuild mine around NE Ohio? All I want is reliable, manual valve body, steel front drum. Car is a 3200lb Duster with a mild 440. 10:1, Edelbrock heads, MP.557 cam, 3.73 gears, 3200 stall. I drive the car a lot, and do some test and tune at the strip, but no real racing. I was going to rebuild it myself this winter but I just ran out of time. I don't need this thing tomorrow but I'd like to enjoy some of the summer. I have two BB 727's, One a 1970 six pack/Hemi unit and one from a 78 2wd Ramcharger. Not sure which one would be better if I rebuild. Any suggestions?

Its not hard to rebuild yourself.. get Carl Monroes trans book.. just
measure things when you take it apart.. If you have a hoist the job
goes pretty quick.. I had to make a couple of things when I did
my 518. but you dont have to worry about that

422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

Depends what side of Pittsburgh. I'm 20 miles south of Youngstown and within 5 miles of the PA border.

Al had his shop about 6 miles from Keystone drag strip. He sold it because he’s just a builder now and does them in Latrobe. Age is catching up to us.
