PTC Converter Vs BBC? Will it work?
PTC Converter Vs BBC? Will it work? I have a PTC Converter that i used on my NA LT1 motor, would this converter be up for a 900 HP BBC? or should i look into using a ATI or TCI
I understand i have to send it back ( figured that one) but alot of guys i know said they were not that great for big power ? But im not ganna let it sit there and go to waste... Im ganna stick it in there! Shawn i have not forgot about sending you my motor .. Money ran dry ..

I know a guy that ran a converter set up for a 6 cylinder in his 540 that ran only 2 tenths slower than with a converter I let him borrow that was more set up for the car but it broke (and mine broke 
).
We run spragless converters in our cars, got tired of breaking them. Haven't had any troubles since.

Give them a call and see what they say. PTC will build that convertor to hold whatever you can throw at it. They will restall it for $75...any upgrades would be additional of course....you cover shipping.
I dont see a reason to buy a new convertor when you can have that one built for a fraction of the cost.

ptc is good stuff.
i run a th350 tranny from them and love it.
great prices and quality work.
THis converter is deff. not 300$ when i got it for the Lt1 it was more like 650$.. Im going have it sent back and restalled/beefed .. What ever they suggest needs to be done. Thanks for all your input fellas
im sure they might suggest something, but ask them about changing up the stator to see if you could pick up some....

As mentioned, at minimum a restall is needed. Higher HP #s mean a better build converter, but it seems you've already found out what you needed. Good luck, 900 ponies hooked up will get you a quick pass!
