small block tranny to big block
is there an adapter kit to put a small block 727 behind a big block?? or can i change the guts out of the small block tranny into a big block casing?? i have a new racebuilt 727 tranny but its for a small block, and i'm needing a tranny for my wedge, so i'm wondering about what i can do to put this tranny behind my wedge

I know they make SFI approved bellhousings. You take out the band saw and cut the bellhousing off of your trans and bolt on the SFI bellhousing of your choice using the front pump bolts.

Well it would probably be easier to swap the guts into the big block case, but if the race built one has a bolt in over-run clutch, then you would need to modify the big block case to accept it, but you'd probably want to do that in any case....

yeah, i've seen guys run them powerglide adapterplates before and not have too many complications, i know a pretty good tranny guy that could proably do that for me, i was just wondering about them adapter plates, and how they worked.. it's a jvx 727 with transbrake, and nice transmission.. i'd just love to get that tranny behind it, with that transbrake, and that 4500 stall, with that 502 in that a body, with 4:11 gears i bet it will be quiet an experiance on takeoff....

For the price of the adapter bell you can but 2 or 3 BB 727 cases.

i've got a couple big block casings, so that would be the best bet?? just take all the internals out of the small block tranny put it in the big block casing?? this thing has fluid lines outside running around like i've never seen before.. why did mopar do that make it different bolt patterns for the big block and small block tranny?? it doesn't make sense to me, i hate to say this, but at least that's something bowtie did do right is to make all trannys fit behind all engines from a 4cyl all the way up to the 500 ci caddy engine.. |

Fella over on the Australian Mopar Market board made an adapter. Seems to work quite well.

What do you mean you're not even gonna try to touch it... Hell even I can make Dodge trannies work... lol, There really isn't that much black magic to em. And for the Bowtie statement.. when they kinda standardized the motors, there were still two bolt patterns. There was the Chebby style, and there was the BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Caddy) As for why Mopar changed the patterns... probably to make the little boys and their bowties cry and stay away from our Mopars... lol.. Chevy had to standardize theirs, because you have to change em out, because of broken cases, or they just stop working for no good reason. Yeah our trannies go out too, but the reason they go out is usually really easy to find...
