She as the thrust roller bearings that motion can't get you will need 3 of them. They are from a Ford E-40d forward planetary.

I assume the ones from the E40d are used between the clutch carriers and rear carrier to sun gear, right? What does Roseville want for them? I just found a complete torrington bearing kit for the E40d at the place I buy all my trans parts for $24.30

When using these Torrington's I'd assume you need to take the free play out of it so they aren't slapping together. Normally you set the end play with the washer between the front carrier and pump. Do you still set it that way and if so what do you set the clearance too? Or is a Torrington used there also and you machine things to exacting tollerances.

Its been a while since I've posted about the modifications to the 727 trans.
This is what it looks like, the 4 pinion planetary gear.
You chuck it in a lathe, turn it down flush with the pins (see photo).
Take the other piece, which is out of a 904 trans, surface grind it down flush to the splines(see photo).
Now you need to drill 4 5/8" holes in the steel piece, which comes out of the 904 trans, you plug weld the 4 holes and you are done. You also need the output shaft to line up the splines between the two pieces.
I will post some more pictures of the finished piece sometime next week.
This will save you $350.00 bucks.


PS. For the ones that can't do this,I can do the modifications for you but you will have to get the parts,pay shipping here and back to you!!

Very interesting Stan. Keep us updated. I get the idea of what your saying to do but once the parts are assembled and you get pics that'll help more.
