Trans question
Will a stall converter from my 89 tbi 5.0 firebird work in my 92 l98 gta? I think both have a 700 r4 but not sure if they are the same. If not can anyone recommend a good 10in. 3600 stall converter.

Re: Trans question
Can you use it? Yes. Will you be happy with it? Probably not. But a 10" 3600-stall is not a match for any TPI. Try something more like a 2600-stall.

Re: Trans question
Thanks for the help. I am doing some mods also I am putting in a hsr,afr 195 heads and a comp xfi 280 cam that is why i want the 3600 stall from my old car.The converter is in my 89 with a 355 and a 700r4 that came in the car. The trans was behind the stock 5.0 until built the 355. Thanks again for the help.

Re: Trans question
When 180s are enough for a 525-horse 400, 195s are too much for any street 350. Sell the 195s, get some 180s. You'll make more average power.

Re: Trans question
3600 stall is too much.
I run a 3500 stall on a 355 with Brodix 200cc heads, 249/252*@.050", .570"/.579" lift cam, 3.89 rear gear.
2600, 2800, maybe 3,000 stall would be a better match for yours

Re: Trans question
Also those heads are fine I run them but personally would run more cam something that uses all the heads capabilities. Look at ls engines they run a a lot of head on stock engines with small cams make great power then can throw a big cam at them and really wake up. Your similar to my old combo and it made 420rwhp.

Re: Trans question
What brand stall no one has asked this and it makes a difference as some companies run tight. My precision industries was a 3200 and behind a big 392 stroker making 540rwtq it was lucky to see 2800 on a flash at the track on slicks. Less on the street.
