is this going to be a drag truck, and you want three speed, no lock up t/c?
Customer
not exactally i just want sometin more reliable den da 46re. but it mite b on da strip time to time.
what sort of problem have you had with your 46?
Customer

well it just snapped an input shat and it just never suited my needs and i need to know how to do the 727 conversion now

 

Well the problem that I see with that swap(other than fitment) is the fact that the 46re is electronic, and the 727/999 is not. The engine computer will miss the sensor readings that will be lost, and driveability problems are likely to result. If you live in a state that does emmissions testing it won't pass inspection either.
Customer

what would need to be moded to do the swap then. i no i have to have a diernt size drive line but as the computer or pcm is concerned what needs to be done

Well the "easiest" way would have to be to repl the pcm with one for a manual transmission truck, and get an engine wiring harness for a manual truck, then you would need to hard wire the nuetral safety/ back up lamp switch. now as for the transmission itself you would need to cut a notch in the bell housing for the crankshaft position sensor. Have a new propeller shaft made and be sure to use the correct slip yoke for the 727. these are the things I know for a fact will need to be modified, but remember that whenever you take on a project like this there will setbacks and delays, so I hope this is not to be a weekend project. If you do go for it remember to let me know how it went, and if you run into something I haven't covered don't hesitate to let me know and we'll get it ironed out. Thanks for letting me help! Thanks for using JA!
