BB 727 Questions
« on: December 07, 2005 - 08:41:36 PM »
I pulled a 440 and 727 out of a 1977 motorhome to put in my 1970 Challenger.  The 727 is the type that has the yoke held captive, and a universal joint bolts to it.  Is it possible to change the tailshaft to the correct slip yoke, and does anyone sell the conversion?  Is it cheaper to buy a new tranny from TCI?  Is there any market for these transmissions? For now I will be installing the 440 pretty much stock, can I use the torque converter originally used with the motorhome, or will the stall speed be too high?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THanks  e

you wil need to replace the entire main shaft , which means a complete teardown on the tranny , you should ba able to get a donor trans from a wrecker from a big block car & have the trans built with the best from both trannys
 It depends what the engine will need for a stall relatiave to cam choice to say if you can use the motorhome converter , the motorhome unit should be around 2200 stall & a HD piece
