727 to 205??

[adamsclarke]

OK....Since my pending nuptuials are close.....I've been veto'd on the atlas purchase until after the honeymoon.

Just a lil background. I am swapping a chevy 60 and 14 bolt in to my J10. Currently running a HD 44 with driver drop 208.

I want to get this up and wheeling as soon as i can and get the atlas next year. I have a Dana 300 that will bolt up....I also have a 10 spline male 205. Is there an adapter and coupler shaft to hook up the 205 to a 727?

I am leaning that way more since the 300 will be temp. If I go with the 205...I could always go 3:1 instead of the atlas later if I wanted.

Hmmmm..what to do?????
Is there a 23 spline 208 or 241 that is pass drop?

ive never heard of an adapter for a 727 to 205. but the 300 is a direct bolt onto the back of the 727.

[adamsclarke]

Yeah..I probably end up with the 300 in there for temp until the ole' lady allows the atlas purchase after the wedding is paid for

[malodin]

it would be the cheapest route, and besides that i really dont think you would break it.(see any of the other 300vs** posts)

[adamsclarke]

Well...it would definately be a temp solution. If you have ever seen me drive...you know it'll break sonner or later.

i have been reading the numerous post on 300 vs 205. The one arguement that makes the 205 win is the pathetically small drive shaft i've have to use to fit the 300 past the 727 pan.

I'll be just glad to wheel this truck...so as long as the 300 hold up for a few months till winter..i'll be fine

[malodin]

well if and when you do break the 300 i will be glad to take it off your hands.

Yeah, your options are pretty much limited. What size tires are you wanting to run on the one tons? You may just run the driver drop 8 lug HD44 until you get a tcase.

It's actually a very easy swap, if you have access to a dodge tranny, you take the output shaft, and the t-case adapter, install them in your AMC 727, and presto, you have a factory 727-205 adapter. I have what you are interested in, including a dodge 205, so maybe we can work something out.

Shipping will be on your dime of course.

Just for everyone information.

Just a thought, and I could be way off base on this, but isn't the input to a Dodge 205 also a 23 spline, with a standard round 6 bolt patern?. Wonder if there is any way to just bolt straight to the AMC 727, without changing output shafts or adapters. Anyone know the answer? I may just have to try some mixing and matching to see if it's plausible.

dodge is also 23 spline except for cummins versions.they have a factory round 6 bolt to figure 8 style 205 adapter

[adamsclarke]

Yeah...I have a 23 spline dodge 203 and 727....but if I am going to all of that trouble of pulling the tranny and swapping main shafts..I'll do a doubler. I'll be running 39.5 iroks....and I'd prefer to go the atlas route...but I think a 300 will hold up temporarily with out too heavy of a right foot. I have a 4:1 and 32 spline in and out from a past project....so it just makes sense for me to go this route.

I'll be dropping a lot of weight...but not enough to make me feel comfy with just the 300.
