Quick Question

[custom442]

I wouldn't go over 2800 with your engine. I just bought a 3000 stall (for a 383 around 450+hp/tq). The highest rear gear (lowest # ratio) you would want to use with a 3000 stall is 3.40.

don't forget that your 383 has a lot more power and it's probably higher than his. he has a very mild cam and only 9:cr. i think 2800 will still be too high.

i'd call or email some good converter and cam manufacturers and ask them. they can figure out what stall and rear gear will work best. you will need the full specs of the part number of the cam and engine.

You don't think the 2500 stall would be perfect? I think it would. I mean, we can find cam specs and put numbers into calculators but for an engine that (guessing) redlines at around 5000, 2500 should be making some good power. And as the last post said, the posted stall is just a ballpark. It'll stall a little less than that with his set up. My guess is he won't be less than 2500 rpm on the highway going about 60-70

But you're right the cam company should be able to recommend just about anything, that's the first place to go

Ok, So I'll go with the 2,500 Stall Torque Converter, Now just need Specs for the Posi.

i am not, by any means, an expert on stall. i forgot about the setup varying stall speed. thanks for the reminder.
i was kinda thinking about what i was recommended, which was about 24-2600 and i've got about 100hp/tq over his and a more aggressive cam.

Ok so what's a good Torque Converter? Ya Dudes got My Head Spinning. lol

Ok so My Transmission for My Car is from a 1990 Classic Caprice. I Wikipedia'ed it to See what exact transmission it is. This is what I got.

Turbo Hydra-Matic 200-4R and 700R4/4L60, 4-speed overdrive automatic.

So I need to Know which one is it exactly, Pictures would Definitely Help

So I need to Know which one is it exactly, And how do I Tell?

it wont be a 4l60 those went availibe to 92 or 93 iirc
more then likely, and im no expert on the 200r4 let me state that 1st.
but i would think for that year/car it would be a 700r4.

ok this is gonna be a little hard to explain but bear with me
on the passenger side of both transmissions there is a servo
if you dont know what that is it looks like a O with a little o in the center of it. the way i was always told to tell the difference ( and this may not be the best way or 100% btw ) is to look at the transmission cooler lines.
on the 700r4 both cooler lines are above the servo slightly offset and close together. on the 200r4 they are infront of the servo and farter apart.

i hope this helps.
and my recommendation would be about a 2400 stall,

Should be a 700r4 in the caprice.

I would say don't go higher than 2500 rpm rated stall speed, and no lower than 2,000 rpm. So, probably an 11 inch converter, but get one with a high multiplication ratio stator. The thing about stall speed is that it is not a number set in stone. It will vary with the engine's torque curve, vehicle weight, gearing, and tire height. Think of it as a rubber band attached to a weight that is free to slide. The amount of length the band stretches to will vary with the weight it is pulling, the force applied to it by the person or device doing the pulling, and the actual size of the band itself. Stall speed is the same way.

Hello Everyone..

I need help.I got some problems with my car..Wheels got damaged very badly and I want to change them all four. Should I go for which of the brand?

I need to change the window glasses and for that also which is the brand?.
I need some other information like what is the prize of it and etc..

Can anyone help me out??

You should start a new thread detailing your problems. Second, you need to add details like what kind of car, size of the wheels, vehicle's intended use, which windows? etc. Third, if you are a native speaker of English, I would suggest proof reading your post as the verbiage chosen here does not seem to make sense. If you are a non-native speaker, that too is OK. We will try to work around it. If you follow these suggestions, you will find that we are more than willing to provide you with the advice you need.

It's always a good idea to install a transmission cooler if you are running an aftermarket torque converter. They are not expensive, and help to take care of the extra heat that higher stall converters generate.
