Hey Hemi Swap guys: I am looking for some feedback on what torque converter to use with my 6.1 Hemi and 545 rfe swap into a 1966 Coronet? The 545 rfe is a low miles unit from a Ram 1500 and the OEM Mopar torque converter that came with pullout tranny is part# 352AB3206A
For those that have performed this swap, what is your experience with the OEM torque converter, my guess is that from the pickup it would have too low a stall speed. Is this correct, if you were unhappy with the pickup torque converter what options would you recommend?
Has anyone out there used the TCI 141600 in this combo? I am nearing the point of drivetrain installation and would like to get it close the first time and not regret later not taking the opportunity to upgrade the torque converter. Any views on a Transgo shift kit as well. Oh by the way, this is just for a fun cruiser here in SW Montana, no drag strips or competition around here, it has a 3:23 sure-grip in the 8 3/4.
Thanks!
