horrible noise

[super-bee_ski]

Sounds to me like the old converter was a stocker. That's how the factory did them for externally balanced engines. All the flex plates looked alike and the converters had weights welded to them. In my first foray into an externally balanced engine, I had no idea about them and installed a 727 trans from a 360 to the back of a 318 and used the whole set up and it vibrated like crazy. I just took a chisel to the weights after finding out what the problem was and it worked.

And I think you'll like the 2500 converter just fine unless you plan on doing a bunch of really slow driving lol

Thanks Cranky!
It was a STOCK converter.
And remember, this is the Car that fellow forum member "67satellite" had with the terrible noise on initial start-up.
I do prefer "Internal Balance" but my aim was to "do it right" but also save money.
Forged Crank can be pricey.

I was just notified that B&M is not making anymore "Internal Balance" Flex Plates, so I just ordered 2 from Summitt Racing.
PS: Summitt said they only had 2 left for Mopar so I bought them both!


Stay tuned!
More to come!

Latest on the "Horrible noises 67 GTX" from 67 satty


After reviewing all data and going over every little detail my Bud and myself are now convinced that the torque convertor was not fully engaged and "locked" into place.
So, consequently, when engine was shut down, the convertor was still spinning, winding down.

**This issue was the cause "Sully" sold me his 67 GTX, God Bless him and his family. (Young Marine, wife and children)

1. We pulled the recently rebuilt 440 that "Sully" had done in Beaufort SC and went through each component and again rebuilt it.
2. I pulled the 727 trans and again thoroughly rebuilt it.
3. Tested the starter on a NAPA shop starter tester for 3 sets of 10 starts. Starter never "hung up"
4. Bought the new Denso "Tuff Starter", will be going in.

Again, our conclusion is now" Torque convertor was not locked into position.
More to come in a couple of months when I get time to install engine/trans and start it up.
