If I am not mistaken his is based on a turbo 400. Its a purpose built race tranny not a 727 that came from Dodge or Plymouth in the 60's and 70's.

tell that to Chris Weatcraft and his neon with a 604 and 3 speed trans.he has won enough money with that car to pay for it.granted he is a top shelf racer but he has put enough power glides on the trailer to prove that wrong.The same goes for a&a transmissions daytona 572 w/727 trans.You can't hardly swing a dead chicken with out hitting one of there 1 st place plaques.My power glide don't want any thing to do with either one of those guys three speeds.Let alone Ben Cantrells 3 speed challenger he has won so much money with that car that he don't haft to eat off the dollar menu anymore.He just pulls the old hey order a pizza you pick it up and I will pay and then do the "do you have change for a hundred" Way to go Ben my Kids diden't get to go to MC donalds that week.



I am personal friends with Wheatcraft and me and him harrass each other all the time on this very subject. I love that car and Chris can get it done on the tree but bottom line is the fellas you mentioned are making their money at events whose names have Chrysler or Mopar somewhere in the name. Show me how many times the Jegs US Open has been won by a three speed car. Show me how many times in the past three years a Tenn Tuck race has been won by a three speed. I am sure there is at least one but its so uncommon and that is my point. The guy who started this post has a 2500 lb bracket car and the best choice for that car and its purpose like it or not is a glide. And my opinion is coming from a guy who has won more than one big money bracket race with a 3 speed. The glide is just the more logical choice




I need to sell my 727 to get the glide that was mentioned earlyer s this post. The glide is the way to go as 98.8% of my racing team said for the weight and cubic inches the combo is correct for the car that will run the ## every time. . My Dads Daytona runs a Glide and that car runs the # every time, As I said the Car runs the # the driver is sometimes not or off the button in time...
To all those that have signed in on this post keep the pro's and con's on the two trannies going, I like everybodys view on this.

this debate goes on and on. as a bracket racer i could care less what manufacture trans is in my car as long as it's in the staging lanes at the end of the day. it's tough enough running a chrysler anything. for what i've invested in running a chrysler i could build a number of serious chevy engines. yes i'm sure some people do win with three speed transmissions but the simple fact is that the glide wins more rounds of racing than all other transmissions combined...and i'm kinda partial about going to the next round

I never said 727 all I said was 3 speed.It is a t 400. I really don't care about mixing other brand parts in my car to me what ever works the best and is the safest and is the most durable is what should be used.I have a glide and a 9 in in my dragster the only thing mopar about it is the block.the glide is lighter easier to work on less than 1/2 the money of a equal 727 you can change imput shafts from a glide to a t400 for more conver ter choices the list goes on an on why to go glide.It is personal preference a good driver can win in any car.Think what you want about Cantrells views on part choice but in the lanes STAY AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT NONE!!!!!
ALSO STAY AWAY WHEN YOU ARE ORDERING PIZZA BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT GET NONE!!!

shiot, I ain't skeeered!! I don't recall ever seeing those guys at the Florida Winter series?? Guess that is why they stick to the mopar only duck hunting events. You want hitters come on down, all the guys Eric mentioned and about 100 more. Better have your game on... but guess what, they put their pants on just like I do, one leg at a time.
