Higher torque in front of a 32RH

[LittleTankTJ]

I've been toying with a future project for my TJ in the not too distant future. I'm am deciding if I rebuild and stroke my 4.0 or swap to an r2.8. I do 1k+ mile trips at least once a year. 500 mile trips more often, so the idea of a diesel is a great one.

What are the torque specs or the 32RH? I haven't really been able to narrow them down. I've found that the 2 may mean 200ftlb.

Is the 32RH up to the task of 300ftlb. If it isn't in stock form, are there specific mods that bring it up to a higher torque spec?

If it's as dumb of an idea as I think it is, feel free to tell me. I'm mostly trying to confirm that this isn't an avenue to pursue.

I’d like to know this too because I’d love to do an r2.8 swap but I don’t see any adapter brackets online to pair them to a 32rh

It'll handle that torque without problem, it's rated at the input to 450 ft-lbs. to handle up to some small V8 engines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TorqueFlite#A999_(32RH)

The only thing that I've noticed that's holding back a swap with the 32rh to a cumins r2.8 is the adapter plate. I can't seem to find anyone online that makes one for this combo. If anyone knows a place they're sold lmk.
