A: ACK! NO! The 327/TH400 flexplate is different from BW auto plates! If you were planning to convert to a TH400, you could do it with the parts from his rig. I was curious what the differences were in the bellhousing and flexplate from the 360 version. I was sort of toying with the idea of putting a 327 (I don't have it anymore) into a '90 Grand Wagoneer with GM 700R4 or TH400 and NP208. (I know it was silly, but I like the 327 better than a 360, but not as much as 401, so that may end up being the powerplant, IF my arm doesn't require surgery and they can get it back online is a reasonable amount of time) From: "John M.

Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2004 20:02:47 -0800 <SNIP> I've just done it in my Ambassador, it wasn't too bad. The front passenger side was up on a jack, and the wheel was off. From the passenger side I went underneath and was able to support the starter with my right hand with my arm braced against the floor then started the bottom bolt with my left hand. Now here's my question: What's the "specialness" of the top bolt? Mine was missing, and the bottom was not extremely tight. Once I got it off, I could see that some (not all) of the teeth on the flywheel were worn, as were the teeth on the pinion gear of the starter. I have the starter back from being rebuilt and it's reinstalled with the exception of that missing top bolt so I'll need to find one of "those", whatever "those" is, shortly. Is it something I can find at a local hardware store or is this going to be more exotic than that? Also, are all flywheels off of 327's the same? I have one headed my way (Thanks Jim!) out of a '66 Wagoneer, so it was mated to a TH-400 transmission. If it's in better shape than mine I'd like to use it in my '65 Ambo with the BW M10 tranny.
