Mopar Converters

[BlackAce]

Anyone running a Mopar converter? If so what do you think of them?

I bought one , but my car is Not Running Yet . I was Told by Someone that they are Good for What You Pay. But, There are a Lot of Better Ones . Like they say "You Get What You Pay For"

I have a 166K in my 73 Duster 360, it stall to about 2300 rpm.

Not a bad converter for the price...but if you can afford it...buy one that is made for your car.

I have read around and it seems there are a lot of mixed feelings about them. I just picked up a 175k for my 904 for a good price.

You will find the Mopar converters to be your best bang for your bucks. I do not think they are built for trans brake applications!

I run a Mopar 10" behind a 357 - 6 pack. I've stalled it up to 3000 no problem, regular launches are 2300 rpm. I've got the local Championship jacket, the trophy's and most important the Check! I run about 60 - 70 passes a year on it and about 3-4000 street miles a year. 3490 lb. BS23J0B car ( in cars for sale thread). Mine is about 20 years old and I have only had it rebuilt once due to drive snout wear.

If you have the desire, a CNC machined, forged hub , custom built unit is always best though.

Put the thing in high gear, and with the brakes locked wood it, and watch the tachometer!

That is the correct way, or idle down return rd real slow in high gear and wood it and watch were tach flashes too.

Yes, we have an outstanding converter builder here in town as well. He has custom built for me, and overhauled them for me. I hear the same thing from people trying to power brake them, lol.
