chrystler 999 swaped for TF 727

My girl friends Jeep has the 258 six and a Chrysler 999 auto and not sure what T-case, the transmission is going out and instead of rebuilding I thought why not swap for something stronger. 
But i was thinking I have a connection on a dodge one ton that has a TF 727 mated too a NP 205, I could not find and adapter at advanced adapter's that would work.  Does anyone know if this is possable.

this ruck has a 360.  But her dad just rebuilt the six and does not want to swap it.  It is an awsom motor, I just was seeing if there was an adapter for the TF 727

my sister had a 97 cherokee  with the 4.0 high output   that thing would smoke all 4 ,  wasnt worth a crap in 4 lo  it always jumped out of low range,   body twisted or something,  she loved it thow,  my truck broke down and i drove it to work one day and on the way home that night  a huge buck  running from some dogs  ran in front of me, killed it, one of the dogs  and the jeep     sis was very   then

The older jeep motor, which would be the 4.2L was a motor know for reliability, and being bullet proof, could run as long as a yot motor.  Though it may take a little more care it is possible.

The 4.0L are a newer engine designe from the 4.2L, more of a rev happy engine then a tourque motor.  Not many peopl realize that the 4.2L from  the factory had a redline of 4500rpm, of course the motor is capable of more but its primary power stock, is off idle to around 3000rpm.  Hers has a cam and off idle to around 3500 it pulls hard, right past 3500 though it falls flat on its face.
My cousin on the other hand had a 4.2L and he had bored it, ported and polished the intake and head, had jacobs ignition on it with a weber carb, that motor had power till 6000rpm, and it was super smooth reving.  He had 35 inch boggers witha 5sp, and 3.08 gears, that was one fast jeep.

I wish we could just throw the whole drivetrain from this dodge under the jeep but its a pretty clean CJ, and there gig is to keep it close to stock because that is how they baught it.  I can understand not wanting to modify a legend, that is rare.
