727 Drum

GTX JOHN said

On our street/strip 10 sec. two Valiant we run
the stock drum. They are pricey for a Non NHRA
Stock/SS car for a few hundreds of ET. That money
in an engine or converter will buy me more ET reduction.

We change the oil and filter in our race cars every 20 to 25 runs
and there is always some aluminum in the pan and filter. No big deal
on our race cars but I would be nervous on a daily driver that racks up
more miles.

Thanks.

I really wanted to build a 904, but I got a great deal on an 8" PTC 727 converter that was never run.

My 727 when I took it apart had 3 clutch drums. I took apart a big block 727 that had 4 clutch drums, but the front drum had pretty bad rust pitting. So, I put mine back with the 3 clutch drums. Now I am just starting to get some flare on the 2-3 shift.

So, I started rainy day dreaming of a billet front drum, and came across the the steel jacket one.

If, I could find a good core 727 cheap, I would probably just build it. Maybe sell my VB, and put the money towards a LBA.
