Thread: Torque converter

Tweet

Hi All - Am putting a 350/330 crate sbc w/700R4 from an '86 camaro in a 46 ford - question is what stall converter should I use? Can I use the stock converter (motor was a 305 TPI) ? and when installing should I try to partly fill it w/auto tyranny oil or just let the initial start up fill it? And if so how do I partially fill it?
Many Thanks - Charlyg

Yes, your stock converter will work. It will actually stall a little higher with the increased torque of the new motor. Yes, you absolutely should prefill the torque converter.

Thanks 76GMC - how do I prefill the converter? is there a plug? or? Again, many thanks, charlyg

fill it thru the drive hub you stock stall my not work to good if your truck is lighter than you car if so a bit of stall may help
