It has been reported by several participants in this forum that the 727 swap requires the use a LARGE spacer between the flex palte and torque converter and it causes balance and alignment problems which SHOULD be expected.
Also the 727 does not have overdrive.
I would imagine that on the straight eights, a simple flat plate to bolt the transmission onto the engine and a modified flywheel would suffice. No spacer needed, as the starter would bolt to the plate. That's basically my plan to bolt a Chevy trans to the straight eight, only I'm going to use the original Packard flywheel.
