I got this 4l80e off of craigslist and they guy had the converter sitting near it and said its the one for the trans so I grabbed it without question.
Now when I go to install it everything seems really tight..
I have an early LQ4 with longer crank and flat flex plate. When I go to mate the two it seems as though things are really tight. The converter is up against the flex plate and it gets so tight it cant spin. Converter seems to be seated in trans properly. See pic below. The bolts have at least a 1/4" to suck up to be snug to motor and there is zero play in converter. I always thought there was supposed to be a little play in these.. I don't want to use the bolts to pull trans to motor cause that doesnt seem right with everything being tight.
Could I possibly have the wrong converter? Please help!
delete this thread im a moron. converter wasnt seated by a fraction, Sometimes you need to walk away when frustrated and collect yourself and go back at it. Thought I had it right the first time and I didnt.
Does anyone know what the factory stall is on these converters that are "high stall"?

Yea, they're like 1600 rpm or something.
There are two factory stall speeds for single stator 4L80E converters.
Low stall is for diesels and applications with a lot of low end torque. I have that one in my '92 454 dually and it stalls around 1200.
The high stall came behind most smaller gas engines.
But is a little misleading calling it high stall because its not. It's just the higher of the two that were used.
