Nice car. I think you will like the glide. You will probably want a 1.80 straight cut gearset though. My 2850# Dart went 1.180 60' numerous times. My 2480# Firebird has gone 1.09 60' on motor and my dragster 1.03
The nice thing is you will have a huge selection of convertors to try. B&M makes a killer 8" that would work well with your combo...
Thanks
Got give the Fosters a shout out they have been helping me get it completed.. What stall would I need for the combo???  ..
I'd call ATI and get one made exactly to your combo.  My ATI converter is some of the best money I have ever spent on the car.

My experience was that at a certain performance level the car got hard to hook. About 9.50 at 3000 lbs. Starting line torque combined with starting line ratio is what would decide for me. A small block car is going to have a much easier time just due to having less torque. A bigblock that is stroked will really give you fits at some point around mid nines because it will have so much torque at the hit the tires just can't hold it. Or in my case it will pitch rotate violently and create problems when it hits the wheelie bars. If you really like the three speed, them my suggestion would be to run a gear that will pull some torque out at the line, like dropping from a 4.56 down to a 4.10. Or, if you are an adrenalin freak/test tune type just run it and have fun. Just be assured it won't be boring!

Thanks for all the info guys, look like the glide is going to be the choice. The glide that i'm thinking of getting has a 1.76 cut. so im in the game with this tranny. 
Just going to have to work on the converter
You all should see the car this spring at one of the CC events, IM HOPING!!!!  If not the Daytona will be thier for sure..
I agree with the 1.80 gearset choice mentioned above and would recommend an ATI 8" Treemaster Vert

So guys, is there no way to re-set the gear ratio in the 727. Now, I'm a newbie to this type of trans talk because all I know is TF but we just run mid 10's so are TF has been very consistent. But from the way most of you guys have said, it seems as though the problems are all with first gear being to tall. Is there no way to adjust the ratios to resolve this problem?

A&A sells a 2.28 gear set. Expensive, and I don't know what power level they claim it is good for:

in my opinion we should all put 9 inch ford rear ends. chevy transmissions and pontiac power plants and tell every one look at my mopar its cool get a grip people 
Ha-ha.
I have Dana 60 from a Chrysler car, Chrysler TF727 transmission, and Chrysler BB power plant. It is cool.
But bracket racing allows modifications, and the PG works.

Swithed from 727 to glide prior to last season. Trans has 1.98 first gear. Not calm out of the hole. Slightly more consistent. Don,t have a lot of runs, but great piece. Costs way more money than 727. I ran 727 for years. Glide reacts quicker on pro tree. I'm at 2750 lbs. If I had to do it over for the money I would stick with the 727.
