Post subject:  904 converter question

Hello all, I was wondering.Is the LA 904 converter the same as the slant 6 904 converter? Is the flex plate mounting the same? I ask because I was looking at a higher stall speed, and didnt see anything about small block or slant 6 spacific. Thanks for the info!!! I am hraded out to pull the 4 speed in my 67, and replace it w/ a rebuilt one.....w/o broken shifting forks.LOL

The converters interchange as long as they have the correct nose and splines. The '68 and later converters are bigger of nose and larger of input shaft with more splines.

Just remember, a converter for a v-8 will will stall less on a slant. Most converters have a stall speed rated for a v-8. If you see a 3,000 rpm converter, it will stall less on a slant, maybe only 2,500. The torque of the engine will have a large effect on stall speed. I have a race convereter that has a 3200 stall speed on my 170 engine, but will stall 4,000 with my 225. That same converter would probably stall over 5,000 with a 360 engine.
