Ok guys…..a few questions….

If the 518 Transmission is a 727 with a lockup torque converter and an overdrive unit, how come it seems to have so many problems? Wouldn’t it be just as good to put an overdrive unit on the BACK of a 727 and eliminate the problems?

I’ve heard that folks are swapping their 727’s for 518’s and was wondering if they were experiencing the same problems that the stock units seem to have.

Maybe I should post this on the truck site……Hmmmm

Is it possible to use the stock roller lifters with a hydraulic flat tappet cam. The reason i ask is I am using a magnum block and the roller cams that comp makes are either a little too tame or will require machining down the valve guides for clearance. The flat tappets are about $175 cheaper too. I guess it wouldnt be the end of the world to go with regular hydraulic lifters if they will work with the taller lifter bores???

Thanks for the help in advance
