Conversion from 727 to 518 Transmission
The 518 Transmission was the answer for me in getting to an overdrive. I have a 4:10 Differential and run about 2300 at 70mph in overdrive. I researched everything and finally settled on the 518. I control the Lockup, Overdrive, and Downshift with pressure and vacuum switches as my 72 was before electronics. I have two pressure switches which control the torque converter unlock and lockup and the control of the overdrive function. The vacuum switch is used for downshift out of overdrive. I also have installed dash switches to manually control the overdrive and lockup. It works great without the electronics. I have also recently upgraded my old 360 to an 408 which I bought from Blue Print Engines. The 408 is now back at Blue Print with a knock. Will know next week whether they stand by their warranty.
