Buzzin Half Dozen

The guy who now owns mike Jeffries buzzin car is among those telling me to downgrade to a 904.
It was included in that pile that I hauled home from GA and I was told it was a good "core". The TC has been sitting next to it long enough to get rusty, and when I loaded it I wound up wearing about 1/2 of the ATF that was in the pan.
I'm 98% sure that my 727 has ring gear tooth issues, will need a converter when I swap the engine, this 904 will also need a converter. The 727 works great otherwise, fluid is clean.
I wanted to buy a Tork master converter for the 727 as I found one nearby, new in box for a great price until I ran the number on my 727 and found out it's a lockup version. Crap. I ain't sure whether the 904 is or isn't. If I DID run the "nasty 904" I'd definitely build it up before it went in.... But probably won't.

You're being told that because of countless forum gurus preaching that the 727 soaks up a lot of power....and it's true. But it's a truck. It was built to be heavy duty. Sure the 904 will work and take less power to turn, but there's no way in hell I would ever change it, even if I had every single part to do it and a reputable mechanic working for free. It just wouldn't happen.
