The major difference between the 727 and the 904 is the length... with
the exception of the 727s built for motorhomes.

I'm no expert on this, but I'd say that a 318 in an A-body or an F-
body used the 904, in B-body, C-body and E-body cars they were 727s
because those bodies normally had the longer transmission.

This is the case with the length of manual transmissions in my
experience, A833s, A230s, A903s. I don't believe I have ever seen an
A745 in a shorter length so they may never have been fitted to A-body
cars.

On saying that, however, 727s can be fitted to A-bodies, as can longer
manual transmissions. They will require a shorter driveshaft, of
course, and the right yoke for the 727. All manual transmissions in B-
and C-body length have the same yoke as the 727 while the A- and F-
body transmissions can have either.

In Australia, when there were shortages of the Borg-Warner 35
transmissions usually used in Valiants with Hemi 6s (strikes and
supply problems were huge in the early seventies), and when someone
specced a car to have a 'tow kit' with a Hemi 6, 727s were fitted to
these cars. I'm not sure why they weren't fitted with 904s.
