    Today was cleanup day; I had grinding dust and tools everywhere. I rolled the car out and gave it a quick blow off and wash and touched up the paint on the frame along with starting the tear down on the 727. It sat in a shed for many years so I figured I rebuild it. Now the shop is clean; I can trash it again.

    Thanks! Clean shops are nice; too bad they never last very long.

    Sounds like I've started a community guilt trip!

    Naw my shop is as clean as it has ever been since buying my 48 truck!, just for different reasons....divorce. The good thing is my new place will have a shop with just my stuff in it, no addition junk stuffed in there that never gets used opened or moved! Still a lot of it is mine!

    Once I got the trans apart I found the case was cracked where the pump bolts in so I ended up buying another trans for parts from one of the local Mopar racers. I took the best parts from both along with a rebuild kit, B&M shift kit, and a 2800 stall converter to get it all together. Now she's bolted down for good and I can start putting everything else together. It was my first trans rebuild; fingers crossed that it all works. I used a 727 service manual and several You Tube videos for guidance.

    Great work! It's pretty amazing how long chrysler ran the 727 based trans.

    Lots of little stuff done lately; wires, misc fittings, R&P mounted, etc. I got the floor put back together and worked on modifying the Jag shifter today. The cable is a little short so I'm going to try and use a B&M cable on it.

    Kudos for the initiative on the overhaul of the trans. Like most things - it isn't so bad once you get in there!

    I really like the "artwork" / paint on the dash! Nice work on all the details, they always seem to just consume the most time tho'..

    That's the truth; the most time and they nickel and dime you to death.

    I was looking at distributor options and found a place that machines this little bracket that bolts on the stock distributor allowing use of an HEI module. Super slick and only $25. I've got all the engine wires run and and am not too far away from a test fire.

    Yes, nickel and dime you is almost an understatement!
