TQ converter recomendation
« on: July 12, 2018, 01:53:09 PM »
Looking for a recommendation on a TQ converter and stall speed. Car is a Maverick with a 445. Aluminum heads ported, BT 4V manifold port matched, C4 trans, 3:55 gear and a 26” tire. Cam is a Hydraulic roller 291/303 and 235/241 @.050. The car will primarily be a stop light to stop light street car with the occasional long trip. I initially thought a 3200 to 3500 stall would be fun and when I called the shop to order one he recommended a 2800 to 3000 stall for my use. Thoughts on stall and brand of converter?

  I suggest an 11" with a 2200 stall for a "small block". That behind your 445 should give 26-2800 and still be efficient. You will have to make a "pilot adapter" if it still has the small block hub.
