Aftermarket 727 selection

[zerfetzen]

As far as I know, my 727 is in great shape, but here and there I see aftermarket 727's for sale, such as B&M, TCI, or others.  I know just about everyone on here prefers TTI as far as headers go, so I've gotta ask:

What's your favorite aftermarket 727?

The application I'm thinking of is to sit behind a 440, someday in the 500-650hp range, and not strictly for drag racing, but street/strip.  Any takers?

[Oldschool]

I don't have a favorite aftermarket 727 company.  I use a very knowledgable private builder.  He has been building race and street/strip 727's for over 30 years.  He is reliable, honest, and has a quick turnaround.  As for the aftermarket ones, they are all pretty good or they couldn't remain in business.  I would call them all if I was in the market for one and discuss the application and let them recommend what set-up to use and then go from there.  Just my 0.02........        Oldschool

Ask (PM) our fellow member, tactransman. He is a 727 Guru and could possibly build you what you want.

Here's one I wish I could afford right now. I'd buy the super street/strip version and throw on a GV OD unit and I'd be happy as a pig in poo.

What's your favorite aftermarket 727?

B&M and TCI Transmissions are very overpriced. You should be able to get a better deal at a local shop, and if you have a problem you will get better service (especially if they are an Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Assocition member "A.T.R.A.")

This is what I am talking about.

Like I said very over priced and probably not going to get much tech help either......

The guy at CRT is also very knowledgable and the guys there are Mopar drag racers as well, guess if you can build one cheaper with the same quality that is just as well built, why not go for it. I like saving a few hundred dollars where I can. 

[tactransman]

Usually the best way to go the CRT way is to buy the CRT components and have a 727 transmission guy like myself build it in your area, that way you don't have the high cost of shipping a complete transmission and if you have a problem then you can drive it to the shop instead of having to ship it back(shipping costs are going crazy lately).
 Yes, CRT is a Mopar guy , I think he is a little expensive, he does know what he is doing. If he is close to you than it would be the way to go . I hear his tech help after the sale is very good also. I can asssure anybody in the Missouri area that they will not find better service and tech help than me.(and CC.com members get a discount)

Just curious, how much was shipping, did they charge you a core charge?

[zerfetzen]

Sounds good, whenever I need trans help, I'll come to you Tactransman to design a screamer.  I almost wish it had a problem now (wait, I really didn't say that), just to see what you could pull off.
