I have a 350ci/ TH-350 in my 36 chevy and a couple different torque converters... I'd like to know what I've got before I wedge it in between my engine & trans. thanks ~Mykk | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 328 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2003 Posts: 328 | The stall RPM on my aftermarket converter is stamped on it. Stock converters are usually rated around 1800 RPM.
Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.

I mean what did it come out of originally, I'm told that if it came out of a 3 ton piece of iron and you are putting it in something considerably lighter or heavier? that it might make a large difference in your stall! I'm a mechanic, a young one though but I think my statement is correct. take care.
Scott | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 148 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 148 | you are correct. engine output, gearing, and vehicle weight all affect the stall speed. that is why they are normally listed with a range not just a single rpm point.
