lockup on stalled TH400?
lockup on stalled TH400? i tried searching a bit, but couldn't find exactly what we were looking for.
a buddy of mine has a 60's el camino with a 454ci motor (no hood), TH400 with huge stall, ford 9inch.
he's trying to make it just a little more streetable, but is trying to explore options before going with a 700r4.
i read somewhere where you could rig up a solenoid, get a torque converter with lockup and activate it with a switch on the dash.
how inexpensively can this be done? can anyone recommend a good unit?

im running the switch pitch 400 in mine
i had heard the guy that built the 400's with the clutch converter wasnt building them, but would repair them, but not 100% sure
now back in the day, i had a clutch turo 400, you cut the bellhousing off, used a stick bellhousing, clutch, diff pump, etc-talk about a brutal shift
and forget the 700r, unless you drive it slow to the store
