If in the future, you require a high stall converter, I'm attaching a specification sheet for you. This is THE INFORMATION your converter supplier needs, in order to supply you with the RIGHT converter for your application.
Be honest with your information, because any B.S. you put on the sheet could result in you getting something that isn't best for your combination.
Also, don't guess on how much horsepower your engine is producing, because in all likely hood, you're going to be wrong. Running the engine on the dyno is the only way you can find out how much and were your engine is producing horsepower and torque. If you've got a dyno sheet make sure you get a copy to your converter supplier, along with this spec. sheet.
If when you're purchasing a converter, if the supplier doesn't ask you these type of questions, RUN FROM this guy as he hasn't a clue as to what you need, and is only interested in the sale. To you members that don't live in North America, getting converters can be a problem I know, that's why I'm putting this sheet here on the board. For the members in North America, don't let price be your guideline. A LOT of known suppliers of converters DO NOT MANUFACTURE THEM, they just buy them from the cheapest source.
One more thing: Unless you know the owner and history of a USED converter, never, never buy one. About the only thing a used converter is good for is a door stop.
