I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this but here it goes...
I have a 67 Newport that I've been seriously contemplating doing an engine/tranny swap on. I want to put in a GenIII 5.7 hemi with a 727. I've done a lot of research on this and have found that a small block 727 will bolt up to the hemi with a new flexplate but a big block one wont. My question is are there major size differences in the transmissions and (if anyone has any idea) what kind of modification would be required to set a sb 727 in place of my bb 727? Literally ANY insight would be greatly appreciated
