| Post subject: | custom torque converter 67 engine to 68 904? |
I am looking to get a custom torque converter made to match my 68 transmission to my 67 engine.? Maybe someone has done this conversion and knows what I need? what other info should I know? Hughes said they wanted to know if the 67 is a 1.550 or 1.810 diameter, not really sure which one? If anyone has done this conversion any help would be much appreciated! |

Best to call Edge Racing converters or Midwest Converters and tell them what you want. I have one of these from Midwest that cost $400 for a 2800-3000 RPM stall about 6 yrs ago. Probably can get a new one with stock stall for $200-250 or so. You need 1.555" crank hub ID (converter snout) for '67-down Slant 6s. I think that VirgilFan posted recently that he had a local shop in Maine that would build a stock stall one for like $100? Charrlie_S also said he had a shop in FL that would do custom converters pretty inexpesively. Best, Lou |

What would be the recommended STALL? I have a stock engine with the 2bbl carb. I have been told 2000 or 2200-2400 stall. |

Depends on what you want for the car. If max MPG is goal, then 1800-2000. If you want a little more kick, with a small hit in MPG, then ask for 2400. Lou |

SJ A trans shop in my town will do one for about $175 exchange. FTI racing converters, near me, does not normally do stock converters, any more. But they would do it for less then $100, if supplied with both an early and late style converter. I understand you already talked to Andre at Edge comverters, and he recommented changing the input of the trans to the early one. That is certainly a viable option, if you have the early input parts, and are confortable doing the job. Not hard by the way. |
