I have a mildly built 400 CI big block with a 727 TF Trans I'm planning to install in a 1967 Dart GT. The car is originally a /6 (with /6 K member - and I "DO" have a Schumacher kit). I've measured the length of both trans (previous)904 - /6 and (future) R/RB 727 and both seem to be close to same length from center of crossmember mount to mating surface with engine.
Question I have is, will I need to do some mods to the body joint line where firewall mates to floor pan in order to set 400/ 727 in place once I use the shims provided with the Schumacher kit to gain clearance for headers and oil pump (after I notch the drivers side K Member mount)?
Someone said I might have to do a little cutting and hammering at that seam for clearance.
Also... will the original /6-904-7 1/4 rear driveshaft diameter be sufficient? I know I will have to change both yokes to accommodate the 727 spline and the 8 3/4 "741" 3rd member I have. I have to find out what yoke I have on the 741 still.
