heres my deal, i need a torque convertor and im a little unsure of what i need. here are some specs on my engine, if anyone educated in this subject could give me some recommendations. also, do i have to pull the engine or tranny to change it?

383 with currently stock heads (will be changing soon), Crower Hydraulic cam 112* .462"/.470" (crower recommends going 500-700 over stock TC), forged crank and rods, KB hyper. 10:1, Street avenger 670, Torker intake (will also be changed to perf. rpm probably). I have a TH-400 which i was told was non-lockup by a member here. i have a dual bolt pattern flywheel. any other info needed?

 

nobody????????????

 

What is your rear end gear?

What do you want to do with the car? Drive it or race it or both?

 

I need to know the duration of the camshaft .050 lift?, the rear end gear ratio?, type of driving you do?, etc.

 

Thanks for posting. the rear is a 3.73, but it doesnt have posi, i can smoke my pass. side tire all day long, but nothing from driver side, but anyways, the cam duration at .050 is 218*/226*. the adv duration is 278*/284*.

I mainly use the car for street driving, i live 15 miles out of a small town so i see alot of highway. but once i get into town i tend to get on the throttle a little bit. the car hasent seen the strip yet, but it will probly once a month this spring. i will be moving to pheonix this summer, so i will see alot of city driving and i like to launch off of the light, but i dont want 6 m.p.g. either. Thankyou for the replies. any other info needed?

 

I would go with the A.C.T. 9.5" lockup with apx. 2,400-2,500 rpm stall with your combination. This will keep the gas mileage the same on the freeway, and with just a little loss around town. They go for $565.00 and come with a one year warranty and a free stall change if necessary. Let me know?

 

Dana he said he had a TH400 non lockup.
