Steve, I really do wish you were
correct about the V8 lock up deal. AMC was the best thing that ever
happened to Jeep IMHO. Emission standards really hurt Jeep in the
eighties. First, Jeep used the nailhead case behind the Buick 225 and 350
and AMCs (including the 327) using different but similar 2” adapters from the late
sixties to 1973. In '74 they had used up all those surplus cases and
started casting a th400 AMC case used in front of the Quadra Trac
until 1979. The last of the th400/dana 20 was 1972 or '73. After then
all QT. Both my '81 and my '87 cases have 727 cast into them and they
are both lock ups. I have had J series Jeeps all my life, both Kaiser
and AMC. If you guys really want to believe those Jeep 727s can't be
lock ups, I sure will give it a rest. I will surely be humbled if anyone can get me a part number for a 2200 stall converter for a 1987 J10. Buick nailheads were not used in Jeeps and J-series is correct. Edited by fandango - Oct/30/2010 at 9:43am |

Some 727 FSJ were lock ups, I believe the tow packages did not get the lock up. Amc used a buick 350 but it was not a nailhead, they did use the nailhead t400 though as said with a cast adapter. Later changing to a specific bellhousing for amc.
I had a 82 wagoneer limited and a 88 grand and both had a lockup converter.

Sure glad I found this site and I can edit my posts. That part number is good and I have now seen one with my own eyes. Yes, I do vary much want to build a mild performance 727 for my truck. When I'm towing it's eleven thousand lbs down the road at 5000 foot elevation so the underpowered 360 will be replaced. The 4x4 output and tail housing is a must and the internal parts changed through the years just enough that common year parts seem necessary. This is really a hijack for the op so maybe there is a better thread for me to discuss the other trans parts needed. Again, thanks for your help. Jeff Along the Wasatch Front we are held to California's emission standards. That could play into my not finding a non lock up 727. http://www.allpar.com/mopar/transmissions/torqueflite-tom-hand.html Edited by fandango - Oct/30/2010 at 9:42am |
