Hmmmmmmmm
Since the cats out of the bag.... We thought it would be cool to share with everyone and see what all our customers think about the new SFI approved case that we will be keeping in stock. These cases will work in a 727, 518, 47RE and a 48RE. There will be multiple bell housings with direct bolt in converters for many applications (available soon). We are super excited to have gotten to be a part of another product that's making our industry better! We can not divulge a release date as of yet but 2019 is gonna be a lot of fun!!!!
STAY TUNED!!!!

This is a game changer for sure. I run a stock case torqueflite in my twin turbo car and the thought of going to a turbo 400 makes me cringe. I sure hope this comes to market. I know I will buy two.

Hopefully it isn't stupid expensive. I'd love to have one.

Would you spend 1,500 to 2k$ for 1? The Reid Super Hydra case for the T400 is $1500+ so I can't imagine it being any cheaper than those.

2k for just the CASE??? After installing ALL good parts in this thing, how much would you have into a trans? 10K? I'm talking a GOOD convertor, input/output shafts, Valve body, drum, etc. Running a auto isn't cheap anymore.

A big HP manual trans complete must be in that range as well to handle 800 hp consistantly

With the race manual trans, you can pick and choose what ever gear ratios you need for your combo. I'm not saying it's for everyone, just saying, running a auto isn't cheap anymore.

Would you spend 1,500 to 2k$ for 1? Nope. I'll keep my CSR shield and stock case. The SFI case would be a luxury to get rid of the shield IMO, nothing more. If I have to spend that much for just a case, that's gonna be one stupid expensive 727. I'll go to a powerglide and reap those benefits for that kind of money.

I personally would never go back to a 727 but this would be great if it comeswould true and is affordable. It looks like they used their heads and made it so the bellhousing is interchangeable so guys can switch to small and big blocks if desired. Know guys have to figure out what their feet and legs are worth if something bad were to happen. It would also be nice to see an added safety liner like ATI has in their powerglide cases.
