Change out Torque Converter while she's apart?

[Stewart G Griffin]

Bizarre how ATI would recommend that converter.   You did give them the engine and cams specs?   The cam is very tame for a 383.  (nothing wrong with that as this is the beauty of cubes---you get good torque AND good top end without needing a wild cam.)

Let me pm you when i get a chance(i know a few guys there).

Also, as discussed above, let's make sure this is a "regular" TH-350 vs. a lockup   TH-350C

Can say Stewart, perhaps VZ nailed it, calling him a box mover.

Although, he did ask me for all the specs that are listed on the data sheet, sounded like he was using a calculator, and then made that recommendation.

I can usually sniff out a poser, but he acted like he knew his stuff.

Take the advice on here, 1800-2200 stall max.  I made the mistake years ago running a 3000 Hughes on a mild 350 w/ a Crane 272 cam similar to yours.  Ran hot, inefficient and not very derivable.   Wasn't even decent on the track.
