I definitely would like to see more converter videos. I'd like to know what the parts are, what they do, and how they work together. A build video would be awesome.
You built a 10-1/2 for my 533 BBF/C6 that will be on nitrous and you nailed the stall we discussed (5200) based on the data logs. I ran it this year launching at 4200 to flash the converter to get a better 60 ft. The plan is to add nitrous this winter, so next year I'll fully test it.
Very interesting. Always pay yourself. You want to keep costs down because you truly care about your customers. But always charge what you have to to cover your margin w/profit. There’s always a market for the best stuff. Lot of public conditioned to accept products strip mined in China. Good for them. But still plenty of folks who value precision and integrity from their transmission, engine, whatever builders.
That is true. We try to keep costs down but your right it can get to a level where it's no longer worth doing. There will always be a market for quality as well as low cost alternatives.
High stall roughly 4000 up the smaller converter can often be the better way to go. On big cubic inch engines I may do a 10 1/4 if they need a high stall. Smaller engines smaller converters.
@BroaderPerformance yeh he said he could.Mud racing so always changing something . Thanks and you do good work. Got one of your reverse valvebodies and it is right on point
I need a convertor for a customer's c4. Blueprint engines wants an 1800-2200 stall. Motor is a 302 and makes 370hp/400tq at the crank. 3.50 rear gear in a 2700-800 ish pound car, 1966 mustang. Is this something you can help with? Hughes is the only company I've found that fits the specs for what I need. But after your torque converter balance video, I'd rather talk the customer into the extra few hundred bucks for a to spec converter made with pride.
Is the c6 converter from a 71 351cj (factory high stall) a decent unit? Want to know before I have it rebuilt. It seemed to work ok in the 70's but it it still decent. It will be put behind a turbo windsor (8to9 psi )
There is one or 2 companies that had some options but it seems they are cutting them out. We still offer a few choices. We don't advertise it well though.
Jay is the Gail Banks of Ford transmissions very knowledgeable honest man
Thank you I appreciate that. Thanks for supporting the channel.

I would love more information (general operation and theory I guess) about them.
Good suggestion

Always thought that you would go with a 9 inch or 8 in with a real high stall.
Depends on the vehicle weight, rear gear, and engine combination.

Thanks Jay. I had one built this spring that is too tight so really curious as to what your thoughts are .
Depending on what converter you have and where you bought it Im sure there's a good chance it could be loosened.

An 11" would probably be all you need. We don't have those cores to build currently.

I have one and its pretty good for a 50 year old factory converter. Great budget deal.
I think those were a 10" converter. Yes they actually were a good converter. Just hard to find these days.
