My concern with the 727 would be length/angle of the rear shaft.




Why is that? I'm going to keep the transfer case in the stock location. I am also considering using new leaf springs for a Wagoneer, which will stretch my wheelbase 2" per axle. This 727 is 26-1/2" long, so it may push the 318 forward a couple inches further than the current engine's location, but I think I'll be OK.
