I am doing a g-body ls1 swap but i will be running my th400 trans that i already have conected to my 355 small block. i was wondering what converters are you guys using...i prefer a tight one since the car will have a huge cam but will be used as a daily driver. who makes good converters in the 3800 to 4000 stall range that are tight enough to daily drive? thanks guys...any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

"Somebody....Anybody....everybody scream!!!" jk Lol. I just need a couple of suggestions besides the usual (ex. B&m, TCI, etc...) thanks. I know thant yank makes great converters for 4l60E's...do they make them for TH400's?

 

Give Yank a call.

 

Thank you man...i know that yank is one of the best torque converter makers, i was just unsure if the made converter's for anything besides 4l60/80e's. my question has been answered.

 

Give edge racing verters a call. They have a really good rep for building tight verters that still run the number.

I love my Pro Edge as well.

 

go with yanks race th400 to ls1 converter they are right in your stall range

 

the bigger names in TH400 converters are Neal Chance (big bucks), TCT, TCI, and Precision Industries. i run a fuddle and couldnt be more happy

 

ultimate converter in CT, talk to Lenny there, they are really big in the mustang world. Everyone I know of that is running one of his converters is happy with it.

 

Neal Chance here... Do it right the first time and never do it again.. =)

 

whats the cost on a chance converter?

 

OUTRAGIOUS.
He does build a hell of a verter and his prices suggest that on many apps.
It really depends on what kind of verter you need and how much power your making.
We have spent well over 2500 on one of his verters before.
But the car ran almost 190 in the 1/4 with a glide.
Everyone builds a good converter for a 400, they have been around forever.
I will also suggest Lane at PTC.

 

I run a PTC (performance Torque Converter) in my TH350, it seems to do pretty well and is actually pretty good on the street. haven't gotten any times at the strip yet but i will definitely post up the times
