Thread: Choosing a converter

Tweet

I too am looking for the right torque converter. 32 Ford Coupe, Summit GM-19210007 350 crate engine w/330HP, Summit TCI-311038 TH350 trans, 3.0 rear end, looking for a smooth drive from 0 to 70mph. May want an impressive jump off the line every once in a while but not building a race car. My thoughts are 2000-2400 rpm stall speed. Any advise.

Do you have the torque/hp curves for your engine, even predicted curves that might have come with it? If nothing else I'd be looking at a converter that gets you up on your torque curve before stalling out if you're wanting the line jump. How tall are your rear tires?
