Too bad my 727 isn't out of the truck in my back yard.
I put a brand new TCI streetfighter727 small block with a slightly higher
than stock converter in my full sized 1986 RAM.
It now sits in the back lawn since I cracked a head on it.
I will say that it seemed to be a pretty decent tranny for the money. Way
cheaper than a rebuild job on the 904 I had in it.
It did shift quite impressively with the shift kit it came with.
