Anyone running a torque thrust 727 behind their 4.0?

The post title is incorrect. It says torque thrust. It should say torque flight.

I'm using tapatalk and I can't figure out how to edit it
 
Not trying to be a jerk, but why would you want to?
 
I'm only interested in this combo because I have a perfectly good one setting in my grand wagoneer. The 229 t case that is hooked to it is in great shape as well.

I had my amc 360 crap out on me and now I'm swapping in a 4.0 to replace it. Just trying to use what I have on hand.

I've already got a 94 4.0 and wagoneer motor mounts for the 4.2 that bolted right up to the 4.0 block. The bolt pattern for the bell housing is the same and my Jeep uses the same starter as xj's.

I'm about 85% there as far as parts collecting goes. Now I need to figure out what flex plate will marry the 4.0 to the 727
 
The torque converter I have is the stock one from the tf727 and I have 3 flex plates.
The 360 one
One of a 32re
And the one that was attached to my 94 4.0 unknown automatic transmission
 
What I meant was you need to determine what flexplate and what torque converter you need

Not asking which one you have.

Just reminding you some are counter wieghted for a specific engine
 
The 4.0 I'm running is from a 94 xj. It is internally balanced. I need a flex plate that is neutrally balanced, bolts to my 4.0 and bolts to the 727 torque converter.

I'm considering swapping the torque converter
 
Did a quick search and came up with this on Pirate:

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/jeep-non-hardcore/1015678-tf-727-ho-4-0l-needs-help.html

Flexpplate for a 258 32RH/998/727 up to '86 will balance correctly for the 4.0l, if you don't need the tone wheel and want to run a old school Ford type starter. One from a 4.2l with a 32RH '87 to '90 or 4.0l '91-'95 (YJ, ZJ) will work with the stock 4.0l gear reduction type starter and the original 727 converter. The '91+ 4.0l flexplate will have the proper tone ring for the CPS, if you decide to go that way.
 
I've used that tread as a reference many times. I don't need a tone ring, but I do run the gear reduction starter.

I bought a 32re plate and tried to bolt it up. It fits in every aspect except for the bolt pattern on the TC
 
96 42re plate works. I just bolted it up today

Call advance adapters and report back.

A 727 with some fresh seals steels a gpz clutches could make a badass jeep tranny.

Also call transgo with your specifics he is a badass resource will likly have pressure and valve body modifications for this specific application.

May need to get off the internet to make this transpire. Ive found many times a phone call pulls for information than searching confused humans on the net.
