727- small block vs big block

[Scamp9572]

First, I ordered the 727 handbook but hasn't come in the mail yet....anyway....
What internal parts interchange between a sb and bb ? I found a fresh rebuilt sb local, manual vb, aftermarket bands, rollerized drums, etc. can I take this stuff out and put in my bb 727?

Everything but the case is the same.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just change out the bell housing?

When swapping everything into a different case make sure you check and if needed reset the end play accordingly. It is especially important with a rollerized trans to have the proper end play. Too tight and it'll burn the bearings up. Too loose and it'll beat them to pieces

Switch to Chevy and you can use what ever GM transmission you want.

I couldn't bring myself to word it like that.

Sacrilege!! I was actually thinking if going glide or th400. Just for cost and availability

When I did my bb 727 I could of built a glide for half the cost. Kim
