Hello, was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction if a good converter I've been looking at the one my trans company recommended but it says for lt1 engines can I use this on my gen 1 small block also what stall speed should I be looking to run in a stock 260HP 350 with headers, hei, 75cc smoggers and 2.73-3.08(pontiac 10 bolt)factory rear end and a holley carb stock cam with the crate and the trans is a th400 the car is my daily driver and streetabality is my main concern but not necessarily economy if that makes sense? Thanks!
Scroll down a bit and there's a chart. It's NOT set in stone! But it's a guide. Your results may vary! http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performance+Products/555/60400/10002/-1
Get your head around torque converters and K-factors first, if not because it might give you a better insight into your envisaged set-up, then because it's fascinating stuff and the reason why the torque converter is a thing of beauty.
Okay will do that for sure and thanks for the info guys!! My car is 3100 lbs A body and running 15 inch wheels p225 75 r15 and my trans company is FTI theyre simply the best in service for any auto trans
Stock converter..for a T350. Little late now, but what was wrong with the 326 for a daily driver? Thought you were the Poncho Guy?
I agree with 1930 A. If you had a turbo installed I would definitely use a stall converter so you can spool up your turbo. You don't have any serious horse power being put to the rear wheels where the stall would make a big difference. I would go with the stock converter. I had a turbo in my 4.3L Sonoma. The turbo didn't get spooled up until about a second or so after I was off the starting line. The 3,000 stall really helped in my case. BTW I was putting out about 400 hp under the hood on a 3,4oo lb truck. You will have a nice daily driver with the setup you have.
