The ramcharger is 2 wheel drive and so is the parts truck. I'll check on the counterweighted flex plate but it's starting to sound like I should just have the 727 rebuilt! Lots less trouble and about the same money.

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I have a 1987 dodge ramcharger with a 360/727. Yesterday I blew the tranny. I found a d150 with a a998-999 tranny with lockup converter. they guy wants $200 for the whole truck including a good spare 318. My question is how do it make the lockup tranny work behind the 360? |

Everything should bolt up although the A998/999 might not live too well behind the 360... also your 360 is externally balanced so you will need a Lockup A904/A998/A999 torque convertor for a 360... -D.Idiot |

Could I possibly just weld the weight to the 318 convertor? |

There is a balancing kit available, I believe from Mopar Performance that will do what you need. It bolts to the flex plate if I remember correctly. I had the same problem once with a 69 Dart; I ended up having a slug of steel welded on to the converter. It wasn't pretty but it worked. |

Sounds like its doable, but do any of you guy's have some ideas on driveshaft lenght and getting the lock-up converter to work, or will it be ok to run it unlocked? |

is the Ramcharger a 4X4? If so then the D series trans wont work (2WD) Personally I have done several 904/999>727 swaps but never the other way around. |

Do not weld to a lock-up converter. You will ruin the clutch material in the converter. Get a B&M or other counter weighted flex plate. |
