I broke it

My buddy had a Buick 455/T-400/3:42 in his '79 LeSabre. He broke so much stuff he finally gave up. TORQUE MONSTER!!!!

Bustin' parts is cool. Until you have to fork over the $$ to fix the stuff. Good luck with your TC. Perhaps if this next one doesn't hold up, you think Hughes wouldn't be your next converter of choice. Two strikes already sort of thing.

The first one was a stock replacement. But yeah, if this one craps out then i'm done with Hughes. Also, bustin parts is an excuse to upgrade.

I like Bonnewagon's little handy hint - It's like putting 7.5 rear behind a 500 hp engine.

The one i just replaced was a standard Hughes 2000 BPO. The new one has the heavy duty sprag. On the two converters I broke both times it was the sprag that went. Hopefully this one will hold up, It was about $100 more. I got about ywo years out of the last one.

I’d assume pay more up front I just don’t see many expensive 2000 rpm converters

Expensive meaning “high hp rated”

If your serious don't buy a generic converter - have one made to complement your combo.

I didn’t think about them making TH400 stuff. I have a Protorque 2800 in my Magnum SRT8. Super drivable and handles 461rwhp @ 4500lbs loaded.
