Joe,
I am using a 1978 lockup behind my 440 and it's been great.  I am not
sure why you wouldn't want a lockup.  It allows you to use a high stall
converter yet eliminates the slip (better mileage and less heat) while
cruising.  Luppo will make a custom lockup converter for I think it was
the same price as a non-lockup.  ...and the Transgo shift kit has a
lockup mod in it.

The input shaft, case, converter, and valve body are different on the
lockup transmission.  I don't think you can just swap your converter.  I
think the easiest way to tell is look at the valve body (it will have an
extra little body on it).  I am pretty sure there is NOT an extra set of
wires since the lockup is accomplished through the governor and valve
body.
Regards,
Ken

Subject: 727 guru needed

I have a 78 727 that I want to use.  It came out of a Fury cop  car.
I'm 
reading that in 1978 Mopar went to lock up converters.  I am  using a
Dynamic 11" 
race converter (non lock up).  I have 2 questions. How  can I tell if
this is 
a lock up transmission and, can I make this a non lock up  trans by just

switching the converter?  I don't have the original  converter.  I have
2 other BB 
727's, a slipping 1966 and an unknown  year.  I plan to rebuild
whichever 
trans I end up using, I just thought the  78 would be better/stronger as
it has 
60 k miles and was out of a cop  car.   Joe
