Dana 27 was an axle used in early CJs so I'm not sure what you're asking as far as steering it was quite different than what you have now and narrower.

Its still a passenger side drop, not worth all the other trouble youd have to go through to get it to work.

How old is this Scout, 80s have a D30 and 2s have a D44 front but all are passenger drop and narrower than a cherokee. Also a D27 is going to be old and most likely have drum brakes and consided weaker than a D30. Might as well get a 10 spline flanged D44 rear to match it so you can break shafts with 31s on pavement.
