727 vs TKX

Too many factors to decide to swap in a TKX such as do you wanna shift gears, do you have budget for a TKX swap, are you gonna modify the trans tunnel to get the TKX to fit?

A 323 gear, well built 340, and matched torque converter should be a stout runner.

Now, a 727 has around a 2.40:1 first gear ratio and no over drive where as a TKX has around a 2.95:1 first gear ratio and over drive. So a lot more torque multiplication off the line and a lot lower revs on highway. But its pricey and a bit of work to do the swap and its subjective depends on your budget and preferences.
Im fully prepared to modify the tunnel in order to make the tkx fit. I was just trying to figure out what would be the best option to dump my money into first. Like you said, the wide first gear ratio tkx is 2.95 and going through all the gears should allow more consistent and ample acceleration.

Once I reach third gear in my 727 (final ratio of 1.00), it feels like it looses all of its power, I was hoping that the 5 speed would be able to restore that
