Registered: Jan 2001	posted 07-10-2001 01:03 PM I have read all the old posts on converters and from what I think I learned is If I run the old converter from the 302 stock setup it should give some kind of a stall of about 800 over stock? with same tranny with a mild-351w IP: Logged

If it makes enough torque at 2000 rpms it could stall it 800 higher, but 400 higher is probably more realistic. SteveW IP: Logged

Wala, a low buck stall converter. When I put the converter from a '72 140 hp 302 behind my 351C 4V, it was a wonderful thing! ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 M code 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Lok '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip '97 Probe GTS 2.5L DOHC {Wife's car...} All Fords since 1977 IP: Logged
