A guy I race with is a big Ford fan. He has 2 nice fast Mustang classics he races. I was talking with him about this & he said he knows of Ford Super Stock racers who use 904 parts inside their Ford trans cases. He volunteered a lot of info. It was pretty much the same. Lighter parts, cheap to buy, easy to find. I don't know how that can be legal, but I guess if no one checks....I have talked to quite a few people about this. Man there are some people out there who absolutely hate 904s, and others who seem to love the darn things.

impossible to put 727 internals in a 904 case even with machining
nor would 904 internals fit in a 727 case
the only interchangeable part is the valve body, even that would not be a benefit because the spring rates are different.
like putting a hemi head on a 318
sorry aint buying it
I am by far no engineer or a "Know it all", but based on my experience I find it impossible to put 727 internals in a 904 case. As far as putting 904 internals in a C4 case, that too is far fetched!
based on 30 years + experience building transmissions.

I have been hearing about 904 internals inside a 727 case for some time now. Have heard it from knowledgeable experienced Mopar racers. However PDFROGMAN is so adamant that it aint possible & he seems to have the credentials to back up his views that I'm begining to wonder if this is one of those 440 hemi stories. As for 904 internals inside a Ferd case. I'm pretty sure Rob was referring to a C6. Yet even still I too am skeptical on this one.

it is physically impossible to fit 727 internals into a 904 case as far as 904 internals in a c 6 case again you would have to completely re engineer the case . best comparison... it is like trying to bolt chevy heads on a a wedge motor
I searched the internet looking for proof that this could be done and have found none. if you have pictures please show me and I will humbly take my lumps
I worked for Lombardi bros in Brooklyn in the 90's at least 6 cars in the Friday night shoot out (Englishtown) running from the mid 8's to 10's. had my units in them I retired due to health issues in 04.
my unit is in this car (owners 69)

I don't think you killed it. Questions where answered. Really appreciate your input. I ordered a converter from CRT & waiting on it, so my car is up on stands. Going to stay with the small block/904 for now. I passed on the 440. I work on other peoples cars & have a fairly busy C body business. So who knows when I can get my car out again anyway.
