Looking back at this ancient thread, I have an 85 D-150 that came from the factory with a slant and a 727. The 727 which everyone else I talk to wants me to throw out in place of a 904 I ain't so sure I'm sold on that idea..... Me +904s don't seem to get along so well. I definitely like "different".
And I even have a good rebuild able 904 core sitting here now.... But not so sure I want to demote my truck like that.

I would keep one in a truck. It's a truck. It's like havin a Chrysler 8 3/4 in a stock Dodge colt. It'll never break. Look at it this way, Chrysler and all their engineers thought it was a good idea. While we might think it's overkill and it certainly is, if I had a truck with a slant six and it had the 727, there's no way in hell I'd change it. I don't care what any forum gurus say.

Oh and just to let you know, our member and friend, Bill Dedman has been passed for a few years now. He was a cool dude. May he RIP.
