What's the best Stall ?!?!
I'm almost ready to do my planned engine swap in my 67' Belv. I'm switching out the original (very tired 121,000 mile) 318, for an ex-police HP 318 with 360 heads and a forged crank. I'm Doing the typical up grades to the car along with the engine swap, double roller timing chain, new water pump, new oil pump and shaft, long tube headers, and so on and so on. I'm also changing out the cam to a Comp Cams 262H cam.
Here are the specs on the cam: * Advertised duration: 262 intake/270 exhaust * Duration at .050 in. cam lift: 218 intake/224 exhaust * Gross valve lift: .462 in. intake/.470 in. exhaust * Lobe separation: 110 degrees * RPM range: 1,300 to 5,600 * Noticeable idle, works with 3.23-3.55 gears (I have a 3:23 Sure Grip in the car now) I know that this is a fairly mild cam by most performance standards, but the car is a daily driver, and I wanted a performance increase without a bunch of "comfort" loss. A close Mopar friend of mine is recommending a Mopar #4876879AB 2400 - 2500 stall converter. Now I'm not anywhere near as versed in this area as my friend is, and it's not that I don't think he knows what he's doing. But it seems to me that the stall range will be a little high for the cams RPM range, especially for a "daily driver" !?!? Mopar offers two other converters with lower stall ranges, #4876870AB 1900 - 2100 and #4876878 2250 - 2350. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you would do with this combination, if you need any other info on the car to make a decision, just ask. Thanks !!! |

The best advise I've seen and have given on selecting the proper Torque converter is make some calls to reputable converter manufacturers. They are the experts. That's my advise. That being said. A 2400-2500 converter is very streetable. With a nice tranny cooler you could run that converter and have no problems. Buying the right converter is one of the most important 'bang for your buck' items you can buy. Chris
If you don't have links to some manufacturers here are a few: http://www.turboaction.com/frame.html http://www.coanracing.com/ http://www.ptcrace.com/ http://www.dynamicconverters.com/ * This site works but I had trouble pulling it up right now.... |
