my 727 build thread
ok guys, update time.
i got my billet park gear today
When it comes to the 727 torquflite, not all tail housings are created equal! there are several variations. the light duty housing seen in this picture:
this tail housing has very light webbing on the exterior. it also has very large indents at the rear of the housing. this housing is considered the light duty housing and is the most common.
then the heavy duty passenger vehicle housing that came in high performance cars. this housing has the thicker casting and does not have the indents at the tail end. this housing will still have the factory console shifter mounts.
then the strongest of all of them. this housing came in trucks, or vehicles with towing packages. this housing is easily identified by the snap ring access being located on the passenger side of the housing. this housing also has the thicker casting, no indents at the tail end and has heavier webbing all around. It also has the extra webbing around the passenger side of the snap ring access ports. it however will not have the console shifter mounts.
the heavy duty tail shaft housing is the same for small or big block 727. the truck housing is still pretty easy to locate and in my opinion worth the time and effort to swap for a high horse power setup.
