Thanks Rogue for all of your responses.

Starting to make sense now. I found out the truck van 727 tail stock is different than the car 727 tail stock with different shifter and throttle levers. That's why your car trani mated with the slapstick linkage but your truck trani would not and hence you had to get an aftermarket shifter...

Thanks

This is great that you converted a 318/904 to 360/727. Now I know for my project 318/904 to 340/727 I can salvage the trani cross member. I found out that the truck (Dodge van) 727 length from bell housing to end of tailstock is the same exact as a 727 from a car at 34.39", so no more extra...

Thanks, any difference in truck gearing versus the car gearing for the trani? With the 727 truck trani replacing the 904 car trani, were you still able to salvage the trani cross member?

Sorry more questions: will my 904 "car" slap stick rod gear linkage and 318 kickdown rod linkage work for a "truck" 727 trani? As noted above I will be replacing the 318 with a 340 but I am hoping to reuse the throttle rods and kickdown rods...but now this "truck" 727 trani has me wondering.

It even gets more confusing because for the truck 727s there are short rear timing, medium rear timing and long rear timing. What does rear timing mean? Then there is truck short and truck long (without any reference to rear timing). Will the "truck, long" 727 with the above part number work for...

See attached picture. I have another question. The 727 I can get is part number PK4039537 5870 2410. It was built Tuesday Aug 23,1977. It is for a "truck, long". I found out it came from a Dodge van. Two concerns: is the truck 727 geared differently than a car 727? The other question is since it...

Thanks

Hi, what did you have to do to the kickdown? Please advise...Thanks

Hey rogue, what did you have to do to the kickdown? I appreciate any experience you can offer...Thanks

Thanks again to all. Good news to hear the 727 change is relatively ez.

Thanks...this is EXACTLY the position I am in. Some tell me the 727 can use the 904 crossmember and original shift linkage and I need only change kickdown and account for the cooler lines and driveshaft. Then some have verbally told me I have to change the crossmember and I have to change the...

Thank you. It is fantastic to be in this E body forum.

Thanks so much for your response. I am strongly leaning towards the 904.
