727 SFI Case Update

I went to Carlisle Chrysler Nationals over the weekend and spoke with Rick Allison and his son Nick Allison from A&A Transmissions. I brought up our conversation in the past about them producing an SFI case. They do plan to produce an SFI case in the future, and they plan to produce this case in Billet aluminum. That will not be cheap to make, or cheap to purchase. The question is, when. Rick is 50-60 transmission builds behind, they are short on employees as is the entire country, and they face a lot of the same struggles as many other businesses after COVID wrecked the economy. Trying to find the time to dedicate to that process is very tough right now. I also questioned them on a 2nd gear launch billet aluminum trans brake valve body. This is also something they are planning on doing. I would assume the valve body will take less time to produce and would arrive quicker than the case, but that is just speculation. They are well aware of the amount of people in the Mopar community that convert to powerglides or TH400s and a big selling point is the SFI case, amongst other things. For all of us 727 guys, lets hang in there and wait til they produce this.
