".....Still got the "eye" for adaptability, Mike! ....."

Yeah, I guess so Roger. I was thinking about that this morning while I was writing the post. I know I can actually buy almost everything to build this from places like Speedway. Summit, Jegs etc, and actually looked at a lot of it in the catalogs. I just still get a kick out of adapting stuff on my own....it's not so the much the cost or availability of stuff like it was when I was younger it's the challenge of figuring things out.


".......518's only have over drive....."

You are correct Ryan, I misspoke, they are building a 46RH. I've been thru the old 727s and 904s before but am having a heck of a time keeping up with all the "new" numbering Mopar is using. I did come a cross a good post on another site that helped explain it a bit for me. In case anybody else is interested I saved the info.

"......
518's have no lockup and use the single wrap rear band.
46rh has lockup and single wrap rear band.
46re has lockup and gov solenoind, single wrap rear band
47rh has lockup and triple wrap band with smaller piston
47re has lockup and gov solenoid, triple wrap rear band with smaller piston.
48re has lockup and gov solenoid, upgraded pump, 6 pinion steel planetaries, and triple wrap rear band with smaller piston

......."

Fortunately the guy at the tranny shop is giving me what I want rather than what I ask for LOL.
