    One to many spin and tire shake on the sprag

    You have likely already drilled a hole in the back of the case to feed oil returning from the cooler directly into the sprag? I know that you are extremely knowledgable and experienced with the 727 and the rest of your machinery. Well done.

    REBUILT 727 HARSH SHIFT INTO REVERSE ONLY

    Perhaps the low/reverse apply servo is sticking a bit and hits hard when it breaks free under higher fluide pressure in reverse?

    Get rid of the headers, right?

    Me thinks long tube headers of the correct dia. give a substatial torque increase and especially at the bottom end where you need it most. That said.....they are usually a pain in the *** in several ways.

    Pretty sure you want .004 press fit w iron heads. check out you tube to be sure. seat pockets must be cut using finished valveguide as center to properly locate the new seat. good luck.

    Well, i got a shipping confirmation today. Im told the total was $107 and change. Havent looked on Amazon to see if anything changed since. No doubt they were supposed to cost more. Sometimes you win and usually you lose.
