Torque converter question
Will a torque converter out of my 89 Camaro Iroc with a 350 TPI engine work in an 88 Blazer, full size, with a 350 TBI engine? Both have TH700R4 trannys.
Purpose for this question. I have lost lockup on my Blazers converter and there is a heavy vibration that worsens as RPM's increase. I am pretty sure I have it narrowed down to the torque converter (harmonic balancer is tight and accessories seem ok). I recently swapped a T-5 in place of my 700R in my Camaro so I have a spare torque converter with 47K on. Tranny on the Blazer (114K miles on truck) shifts fine for now, just the converter problem (I hope). I can't swing a rebuild right now and I don't want to put a new converter in front of a 114K tranny. Will the Camaros work? How compatable is the stall speed?
Any help is appreciated.
