Be careful with the gear box / torque converter swap ! even swapping like for like isn't that easy !! ( Just done one ) I would call Martin at ACCS and get an opinion - I know modern GM boxes fit with adapters as another option -- and it's a myth that all 727 boxes and torque converters are the same ! they are often adapted for the car that they go in, so just putting one in from anything could make your car run crap with harsh or lumpy gear changes. -- get advice from someone that has done a lot of gearbox upgrades on BRISTOLS , ( Brabazon, Bristol, SLJ or ACCS or you may be spending $500 dollars a few times :-) The same people can advise on all the other stuff.
