Stall converters
Im looking into getting a stall converter for my 700r4 30 spline.
What stall can is recommended for a stock setup with minor addons (Performance prom, headers, underdrive pulley)?
Im reading on the forum to stay away from B&M and TCI, has anyone used their stalls and had problems?
When I change the stall converter do I need to change the flexplate as well?

Re: Stall converters
You shouldn't need to change the flex plate, unless its cracked or the teeth are all chipped up. The last time I had a trans done in my 350 TBI truck, they put in a 1700 or 1800 stall. If it were me, I might talk to a tranny shop or performance shop...if you have any around that you trust.

Re: Stall converters
Finding one from a Corvette or s10 will cost little less than buying a new one, looked into it.
Where is the torque band start on these cars, around the 2200 rpm?
As for transmission shops, I dont know any to trust around here.

Re: Stall converters
The stall will depend on how much power your motor is making.Knowing that is the looser than converters from other cars.You can add converters from 91-96 Caprice/Roadmaster as well..They are rated at 2200 RPM but you can get a shop to maximize the stall..I had one behind a 383 and it stalls at 3000 RPM for me.Since its a fullsize converter its still great on the street.It wont be as efficient as a smaller converter at 2500+ stall though.
BTW I have a converter here if you need one.$30 plus shipping
