727 for my 383 Dart Conversion Question..

You're being given good advice. Use the later transmission as long as it's not lockup. The 71 and up transmissions had part throttle kickdown. Instead of having to bend the floorpan with the gas pedal to down shift, it will down shift part throttle. Just follow the advice. It's good advice.[/QUOTE
Will the kickdown linkage on my donor 65 Newport (383 with the cable shift 727) work with the 78 trans? I know I will have to source some mechanical shift linkage as the Newport’s 727 is the cable shift. I will try and find a good home for the Newport’s trans.
