anyone running a th400 hydramatic?

If your friend is a professional tranny rebuilder, he should be able to get parts for a 727 from his suppliers. If he can do a th400, he can do a 727 for you. It may be cheaper to have him do the chevy tranny for you, but the cost to get it mounted to a Mopar engine will make it a wash or worse.

My 2 cents.

Exactly. Adapters are pretty dang expensive and cutting off the bell housing and installing a new one is also expensive. I can't possibly see how you'd gain anything even if you get the 400 rebuilt at cost.

340duster340 you can also rebuild a 727 torqueflite in a lot less time than a turbo 400. I have done numerous 727's and a couple 400's. I hate 400's personally. There must be 3-4 times the small parts in a 400 than a 727. 400's are strong transmissions also but I don't think their even one bit stronger than a torqueflite. Just my .02
