This is sure to try some patience. Ok I have been rebuilding a 1978 BB 727. Came from a truck or van I believe cause it had the 4 gear planetaries. Also has the metal cloverleaf style thrust washer. I did not check original endplay, I know, my bad. I have been working from the Munroe book...

OK, back in December I started a dumb post called EX RACE CAR MOTOR< WILL IT BLOW ON THE STREET?, or some such dumbness. I finally dug it out today from under the work bench and I want to see what you guys think and test your Chevy/GM parts knowledge. More on that in a bit. I Bought this...

OK, I.m almost done with my 727 build for the 71 Charger, so I need to pick a stall converter. I have spent two days internet shopping until my eyes are crossed, seems everybody hates Boss Hogg, B&M, and TCI ( actually more like 50/50). Hughes seems to get decent reviews. NOTE : this is not a...

Almost done rebuilding this 727. Apparently I failed to keep the big servo springs ( front and rear) separated. One appears to be a slightly larger diameter. Pressure difference between them is not that noticeable to my hands. Length very similar too. I am guessing the larger spring goes in...

So the front and rear drums in my 727 appear to need the band surface reconditioned or turned on a lathe. They're a little wavy with some small areas of rust, so I think they need trued up. I found a guy that will do them for 60 bucks each. What sort of finish ( or smoothness) were the drums...

Ok, this has probably been covered but here goes. Somebody gave me a big block 727 that had quit working. the pan rail number is 2801541 which traces to a 67-68 Chrysler/Dodge /Plymouth . I've taken it partially apart and it has 4 pinion planetaries front and rear. What else would distinguish a...

Im putting together a 1974 727 from a 1974/440 truck for my 71 charger. But, of course, several parts are iffy, and I have two more parts trans available. But I am wondering about balance issues ( if any) between different years. For instance in my 1974 tranny, the rear drum is toast, and I...

OK, I bought a core 727 and Im going to rebuild it myself. BUT how can one tell if it has been kitted before? I don't necessarily want a shift kit, but I need to know. I know kits go into the valve body so any telltale signs would be there, but it would only be a hole drilled through the plate...

So if one were to go from an automatic to a manual tranny, would that require disassembling your motor and rebalancing it? Neal

I am looking at a pair of brand new rebuilt 906 heads with all new stainless valves and COMP cams springs, retainers, etc. The spring installed are dual springs , part no. 924-16. What size cam do I need to run with these springs? Are they too much for a street car? And if they are too...

OK, in my defense I did scroll the section to see if there was already a thread on this . I am sure there is, so please redirect me if necessary. But what's the story with this bellhousing. It says you can bolt up OEM stuff, and run either flywheel but it sounds too good to be true. Cant be...

Well a few days ago I posted about my sad and sick poly 318. I think it's toast. Minimal oil pressure, cold compression gauge test wont even register unless you inject a bunch of oil, timing chain is stretched ( 13-14 crank degrees till rotor movement), and nasty sludge. Game over. So...
