Thoughts and opinions for my 727

Being an old Jarhead, and a recent injury to my left knee from a car coming into my garage at 40 MPH while killing a pedestrian, I had to change my transmission choices. I have to have an auto now. Maybe after my knee replacement, I can row the gearbox again. Until then, I'm modifying my A727 with a 3500 RPM converter, and tranny mods. Not looking for sympathy, that's in the dictionary between Sh** and sympathy. In my opinion, nothing beats banging the gears in an 833. With my "handicap", I'm building a stout A727 for my Swinger.
