Wild, not to be picky but my1985 FSM thinks there are still 727's behind small blocks, at least in vans. But the listed capacity is slightly less at 17.1 pints (8.5 Qts), not 18.5 pints like earlier years.
Second transmission with no luck...

Yeah, I hadn't thought about vans.... Might be in HD trucks too... But not in passenger car applications....
Never seen one take only 8.5 qts, but I haven't seen them all & by 85 I wasn't working on many late model Mopars.....

I hear ya. I didn't realize the fill had decreased, but the van converters were the smaller 10 1/2" version, which then makes sense. OP's low level was the 1st issue, not sure about the rest of his issues.

Alright guys I'm up and running!!!! That knock was either a trans mount or a motor mount that is broken, ill have to get a new one. I have been building this car for 2 years almost every chance i could get time for it, never imagined how fun it would be to just cruise through my neighborhood on Christmas day for the first time. Thanks guys I appreciate it! The fluid did the trick 
Merry Christmas

Nice 70 mason. About your {clunk} noise. easy way to check for a broken mount is have a buddy watch the engine , you hold on the brake firm and give it some throttle in a forward gear. left side of the engine will raise up if you have a bad left mount. Trans mount its safer to just jack up the trans a small bit and look for gap.
Also check U joints at the front of drive shaft and the back one at the rear end.
Also if you had a high idle speed going when you heard the {clunk} while shifting into gear it may be some wear at the ring and pinion.
older rear diffs with lots of miles can sound pretty scary when hit with a high idle speed shift from park.

I appreciate the compliment, and thanks for the advice that'll help me out alot, i feel the banging come from right beside my gas pedal, but it seems to go away when i lay in on the gas. That rear diff hasn't seen much action in its whole life haha. 56k original miles, had sat in a field since 1997 I'll have to post a picture of it when i found it.
