Got this off the MoPar Mailing List and hoped someone
here could answer this (I don't feel up to getting
under the Plymouth with a tape measure today).
Anyone know if that casting number translates into a
part number? Seems to me anything that would take out
a cast iron tranny case would be major enough that the
whole tranny would've been replaced, as opposed to
buying a bare case and stuffing it.
(Also, I didn't bother correcting him on when the 727
came out; if you do, be gentle.)
