transmission mount
Does anyone know if an adapter transmission mount is made to bolt on a GM style glide (bolt holes are 3.75" from center to center) to an E-body transmission crossmember? (2.75" from center to center)
All suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!

Not that I know of. We don't use inferrior gm junk in our Hi powered Mopars. Wont hold up like a good A727 tranny. You can get one from TCI at www.tciauto.com Mopar, Only way to go fast.

LOL your kidding right?
Sandy Wilkins just went over 200mph in top sportsman with a small block and a glide.... get real. If 727s were so much better they would be in the fastest race cars not just mopars. They are grenades waiting to go off. Im pretty sure there isnt a top sportsman legal small block mopar running 6s at over 200...I would be a beer on it. I would go double or nothing it doesnt have a 727 or 904 in it. I know some comp guys like the 904, very very expensive ones.

I am sure all those pG out there are stock too...nothing aftermarket....
If you are racing a 727 in a FAST car...you need to use an aftermarket front drum....pretty easy...and Low ban apply manual valve body....that pretty easy too...

Holy hand grenade, Batman! The driver of that Cuda is EXTREMELY lucky that his trans blew out through the passenger side and not the driver's side...
Love the hole all the way through the door. That just as easily could have been his leg.

Im pretty sure this guy was not using his tranney properly...I heard doing a burnout in a parking lot. Probably in first gear.... but yes very lucky.

Any tranny needs to be built for the use. What happened to Dick Landy's 727's? And more close to home,Zip Weddle ran many 11 second passes in his 62 Dart 440/727 with no troubles. What were they doing? I have a TCI Competition series tranny with a reverse manual valve body.... and it I would never trade for a GM crapper.
Shaun- If it ain't Mopar,what is it doing here? Mopars are for adults only,chevy and ford fans,please drink milk.

I ran 727's in my 10.5 bracket car for years & never had an explosion. The secret? Drive it correctly. When doing a burn out imediatly shift into 2nd. Do one "dry hop" then stage. If you break a rear or a drive shaft pull the trans and inspect the roller clutch (sprag). If the trans ever feels " strange" like maybe not leaving in 1st (driving in the pits) Check it!The only valve body I used was a Turbo Action "cheeta" which I don't think applies the rear band in 1st.

You guys running 11s and 10s with the 727, are fine. What Kevin is saying is, what happens when you're running in the 6s? Has ANYONE on this site ever run a 6-second pass at over 200MPH? I never have, and never will. But if I was planning on it, I'd be looking at what the guys who are winning were doing, and Kevin's right - none of them are using the TF. I'm as big a Mopar fan as anyone on this site, but I'm not so stuck in my dogma that I can't admit it when there's something out there that works better. I'll never run a 'Glide because it's not the best trans for what I do - I'm getting a G.V. installed right now because I need more gears, not less. But I can admit it when there is a rightful place for one.

And where did you come up with that word? Good definition,I trust,but are we here to argue over such little things? Now I put our agreement to the test; what about the hemis and 440(blocks-stroked and bored) that are running 8's? Why arent their 727's blowing shrapnel? Why aren't they running to li'l jimmy? Shaun-PS(had to) wanna race your fastest car against my 65 Swepty for Pinks?

Dave Smith at Pro-Trans recommends and builds 904s for the faster Mopars. I have heard that the 727 is slower than the 904 but have more longevity in heavy duty applications: motor homes, school buses, C-bodies and the beat goes on.......

I never said that the 727 wasn't a strong transmission. Obviously it is adequate for the guys running 8s. I'm not the one who made the observation that Top Sportsman cars are all running Glides, Kevin brought it up. I simply checked the facts to verify, and it's true. You think I like the fact that Mopars in the fastest classes are running Chevy parts in them? No, I don't. But it is true, and I have to accept that whether I like it or not. Tell you what - if you want to prove that a 727 can hold up in Top Sportsman, build a doorslammer that runs in the 6s, using one. Believe me, I would be grateful to you if you did.Quote:

When choosing transmission, I really considered a TF727. One well known company had their state of the art 727 for 6000$, and when I asked them about it fitting to our approximately 1300 hp car weighing 4000 lbs, they wish us good luck. Didn't even try to offer anything. Went with a JW glide instead. Haven't put it to test yet, but with about 700 hp it seems to have no problems. It's rated at 1800 hp, whatever that means. In a heavy car like ours, performance seems to suffer quite a lot with only two gears, and driving is dull. No need to hurry with the shifts. But hopefully we can cure that problem for next summer by adding some steam to the engine!

If you look back to the first page I gave him all the info he sought.
Shaun, can you tell me whats the winningest transmission in bracket race history? I see mopars putting glides in their cars all the time, I dont see any bracket cars putting 727s behind their chevs, or fords.... although if you want a 10K tranney I see some 904s in comp.
