our 1983dodge ram 100 has a factory 727, I found the invoice from dodge to the dealership in the glove box, it has all the options including the 727 transmission listed, it also has a aluminum ring (flat like) washer taped to it with some numbers stamped on it...what that anywho? |

I don't have numbers for you, but in my almost 20 years of playing with slants I have only ever had my hands or eyes on TWO slant six specific 727. They are out there, but they are uncommon. |

That aluminum ring with numbers is your key code for the door and ignition locks. Brian |

Actually, I have seen quite a few, in "fleet" (EI: police/taxi/etc) vehicles. |

Friend of mine took a slant 727 to the recycler because he couldn't sell it. |

I'm a noob with my first slant six in my '86 Ram 150 Royale SE--it has an automatic in it--what do I have? What is the more common automatic? Where would I look to determine what trans I have? |

Even on this side if the pond, I have the impression that a great number of vans and trucks came with a 727 behind the SL6. It may have to do with local vehicle weight classifications. I recently switched my 727 for a 904LA plus an extra converter. A 727 is noticeably heavier than a 904. Olaf |

I've had a few of them, both standard and lockup. I sold 1, the rest I had to give away. Yeah, the aluminum disc with the paperwork sounds like the key numbers to me also. |
