727 or 904

..I have both..the 727 seems to be king of the stip and seems to last forever..and it allows you to grow when you want w/o having to mess with the trans again..I hear it takes 5 or 10 more horse to push..with a V8..that is nada..why would you put in anything else ?? ..so 727 for me with the 2-3 shift kit..

BTW, I also have an 8 3/4 rear end even though I hear the 8 1/4 is OK..I hate doing the same job twice...

Same here.....

My car (72 fish) had no tranny when I got it. Same cost to rebuild/freshen either a 904 or 727.....figured with a 727 I would be prepared for whatever I might end up doing later to the SB. Transgo shift kit with some upgrades inside. The kit allows me to downshift/upshift to 2/3 "anytime" or at least that is what the transgo kit claims....LOL :burnout:

Also went with a nodular iron 8 3/4 (3.55 trutrac) and CR MO shaft with the 1330 (?) joints....yeah, more than my current engine needs, but I like to abuse it a little.....LOL....so the extra beefiness is a little extra peace of mind for me.
