Why 727's explode

Great info! I’ve been racing with 727s for over 20 years and have not experienced anything like the explosions shown in the video. But I follow a specific set of guidelines. First the transmission is built right. Always, always, always start burnout in second gear then immediately shift into third. Don’t allow the rear tires to ‘grab’ under power during the roll out. And in the shutdown area I just let the car coast in 3rd, I don’t try to throw it up into neutral. Once the car slows enough via braking, and I turn off onto the return road I’ll upshift into second.
My son was looking at one of their Valve bodies. Low , second , Third, Neutral and neutral to reverser with the trans brake button. Cope transmission sells som nice parts. Complete roller bearing and torrington bearings to eliminate all bushing and shims. We have an 500+ engine here for a 70 Dart with the trans rollerized . The owner loves it.

We went yesterday to look at the trans apart for refresh. Steve was measuring what they did for the torringtons. . Some pretty amazing work by cope. Steve decided to just buy the parts we need. Time is money and they have it all figured out. Aluminum drum will be the biggest ticket item.
