95 5.9 Magnum, is is possible to install a 727 behind it? i know it won't have overdrive, that is not an issue. What i'm wondering about it balance and torque converter fitment. thanks

You would have to use a Magnum flexplate due to the crank trigger and grind out a hole in the 727 bellhousing to clear the trigger.

That's how it works!

You will have to open up one hole in the flexplate to bolt the converter up

Make sure the 727 converter doesn't have any balance weights on it.
