   I think 71 is still the old bolt pattern so 727 is out of the picture. You should confirm that. 72 and later are the same bolt pattern as the later V-8's AFAIK.

Northwest transmission and Fatsco sell parts.

	The postal Jeeps used the old bolt pattern engine for a few more years than cars. Some of them had a 727 behind an old bolt pattern 232, so it's not out of the question, just a hard find! The 727 was an option when the big Jeeps used a 232 also, prior to AMC buying Jeep (65+ Kaiser Jeep used 232s in the FSJs). I wouldn't use a 727behind a 232 unless I had no other choice though -- takes a lot of power. Later model (72+) sixes used a 904 or 998 for HD applications (Eagle 4x4 used 998, so did CJs, only 2WD cars used 904). That means getting another motor, but 72+ sixes are pretty easy to find. AMC pattern 2WD trannys are harder to come by! The 4x4 trannys can be changed over using standard Chrysler parts (pletny 2WD Chrysler trannys around!), but the trans has to be totally disassembled to change the output shaft.

	In the previous century I used to hear the expression back in 02 but I wasn't around then. I can say that back in 66 I bought a 58 Ford with a transmission in the trunk. Previous owners couldn't get the T/C into the crank because unbeknownst to them the engine was from a 55, which would have used an air cooled T/C and a smaller hole in the crank. No problem, I took the T/C to the machine shop to cut the knob off. Then I dropped a pipe inside the same diameter as the crank hole and welded it into the T/C, followed by welding a cap on it. Worked great. When changing over from one type to another sometimes you might need to get creative, but in your case I'd say the easiest bet is to get the B/W fixed. That old Ford transmission was probably a B/W derivative and it served me well, although I don't remember if it was iron case or not. Probably was The used M35 I put in my 64 Rambler 30+ years ago is also still serving me well. IMO they are adequate behind a six cylinder and if you can get a good overhaul it should last for years.

	AFAIK it is. The M-3x and M-4x are nearly identical. All the 4x have provisions for a liquid cooler, though some may have been air cooled. You can bolt a liquid cooled only model to an air cooled bell, but must have the air cooled bell and converter if air cooling -- and the cover plate for the front of the bell. Without that plate the fan on the converter doesn't work right and the trans will overheat. I'm not sure if the converters interchange, but they should.
