727 Transmission Questions

["dennis.1963ply" <dennis.1963ply@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a 727 out of a mid 70's pickup that I have questions about:

It is completely drained including the torque converter.  What transmission fluid would you recommend? 

I need to start and check the 318 that it will be attached to before it goes in the car.  Even though it did have transmission fluid in it a few years ago should I pour fluid in the converter before attaching the transmission?

Last question I want to start the engine and run it with the transmission attached but no driveshaft.  Will I be OK just using one of the plastic cups that go in the tail shaft to keep fluid from leaking out?

Thanks

Dennis C.
