torque converters ?
 

a buddy of mine asked me the other day how he should go about picking out a new torque converter for his truck. I had not clue!
so what exactly do you take in account when picking out a converter? what variables decide what stall speed you want?
his truck is a 71' chevy k10. he is running a 3 inch suspension lift with 33's and 3.73 gears. he has a turbo 350 tranny and a 350 small block that he figures around 300 horsepower. thanks for the help cuz i need to buy a new converter for my truck when the funding alows, so all input is apreciated from us both.

cam specs...weight...trans...driving cond...engine power....

get the cam spec.sheet and call tci or b&m and they will hook you up....order it from summit.....
any problems 100% money back garantee....
let the mfg...recommend the converter.....

here's a pic. of my coan 700.00 converter they would not stand behind

Stick those teeth back in the middle and it will be fine. :D

think that will do it randy:lol: :lol: :lol:

you should have seen the shrap mill of aluminum in the th400

OMG.....:eek:

I agree, get all the specs, and call a converter company.
You'll need some info on hand, like the weight of the truck, intended use, cam specs, engine displacement, tire size and gear ration along with the tranny model (and possably year)
In reality, a 300 horse engine is just a step over stock, so you wouldn't want much converter at all. I would say in the neighborhood of 1900 RPM... but again, talk to the pros about it.
