[Qgis-developer] What transformation is QGIS using from NAD27 to WGS84?

We are having some problems loading a WMS layer pushed to Geoserver with
NAD27 (EPSG:4267), When it is opened in QGIS, it shows a shift of around 20
m. My doubt here is, what are the parameters QGIS is using to this
transformation?

Looking into qgis's srs.db, the prefered transformation is one with the 7
parameters of molodensky transformation, can I assume that that's what it's
being used if not asked to the user?

How about grids? In Osgeo4w installation seems to be a few grids available
in the shared folder including a "conus" file that could be useful for
transformation. Could we use it?

Thanks!
