A727 Rebuild kits redux - Rebuild kits everywhere (62-70 vs 71+)

If you're going for more HP, then you might want to consider using the High Engery front band and the HIGH ENERGY friction plates as used in the A518 transmission (727 with an Overdrive). These plates are the same thickness as the normal plates found in a 727, and you use the stock steel plates.

Alto red plates are a good choice if you're going drag racing a lot, and if you go this route, be sure and use the Kolene (black) steel plates. I've had guys tell me though that this combination wasn't the best for a car driven mainly on the street.

Have fun.
