Contact Wayne at APS Precision: http://www.apsprecision.com. He can
help you out with the needs and costs behind any of the transmission
build-ups.

You wouldn't believe what he's done with the 727/904's and variants of
them (across the 15 years I've known him).

I'm not really looking to "build up" a tranny. I pretty much just want
to buy one and install it. May as well leak a little info out... as you

can guess this is going to be for Christine. I want the rock solid
nature of the 727 with added fuel economy of an over drive. The engine
I'm going put into Christine should put out between 430 and 450 HP...
