727 (340) TRANSMISSION REBUILD QUESTIONS THREAD

Hi Folks

I am starting this thread in hopes to get some of our transmission guys/gals on board and willing to lend your expertise. I am sure that I will have several questions during my journey. Looking forward to much needed input. The transmission is a numbers matching 727 from a 1971 340 Demon. The build will be a typical OEM build going behind a mild 340. Thanks to all.

Question #1: When tearing it down, I found a 3 disc front clutch assembly? This seems odd for this transmission......Thoughts?

Question #2: The rear clutch clearance was .026 under a flat snap ring. Is this too tight?

Thanks
