Maybe the fellows at the speed shop gave me a big
line of poo to 'upsell' me something, I don't know, as I don't do trannies,just
know what I wanted and had $$$ which makes people especially salesmen, do
strange things! Davis, thanks for clearing that up, never too old to learn
something! Oh, forgot to mention that my Rebel sports a LAPD 401 in it, didn't
mention the engine size, but it is hooked up to a 904, and SOB even at 127,000
miles on it now, lights them up!

& 727s
The valve bodies are the same between the two, The shift kits fit both so
they are the same price. Rebuild kits are the same price also. As I said
previously the 904 is a weaker tranny but it has a lower 1st gear. however
that gear will swap with the 727. So the best thing would be to put the low
1st gear out of the 904 into the 727 and you have a bullet proof low end
tranny.

One thing I want to mention here, while both
the 727 and 904 are really nice trannies, and for the most part,
indestructable, my personal choice is the 904 over the 727. It has a great
low end, and some items like shift kits are 1/2 the price of 727 items.
Either way you won't go wrong, my 72 AMX here had a original 727 behindthe
360 and I put a shift kit in it, darned thing would chirp tires at 70mph.
And not a easy thing to do with 15" Machine rims on it. On the other hand my
68 Rebel convertible 'Machine' has a 904 behind that LAPD interceptor, over
127,000 miles on it now, again, I simply like the great low end power of the
904. Good luck whatever your decision.
