The 327 probably would love the extra low gear because it left like a cannon ball with the 2.08 Glide. The input shaft on the Powerglide didn't break, neither did the front pump drive gear lugs. I dropped the pan and found aluminum shrapnel in the pan, but the rest of the trans doesn't seem too contaminated. The flywheel just came today, as did a new Simpson harness,so it's back to work time. I suspect the failure was planetaries since nothing works. We have a trans with Park and four neutrals. Once the car is fixed,I'll open up the Powerglide and I'll know more.
