Street/Strip car? Call Kenny Ford at PTC. You won't be sorry. Reasonable cost, good results. My race car I run an Ultimate Converter Concepts. Lenny will fix you up as well. Both are good people.

PRO TORQUE got one behind my 572. No complaints. Great service. 3800 rpm stall.

Use this spec sheet: http://www.ptcrace.com/spec-sheet-pm-23.html

Send it to all these companies and see what they say.

Sometimes a custom built one for your specific application can cost the same as a off the shelf model.

Summit can also help you if you contact their tech help, the same with TCI.

It will take a little time for them to get back to you, be patient if you want the right one.

Have fun!

Motor is a stroked 400 to 470. 583 hp 610 ft lbs torque. Street driving mainly. The builder recommended around 2800 because the motor reached such torque early.

Thanks guys

I would use Dynamic converter in Delaware, Frank Lupo is a long time Mopar only guy. He also has a Dyno to run 727 trans after build to make sure it is running correctly. he is in business a really long time.

Lenny is fantastic. I've been sorely disappointed with the part throttle performance of the last converter I had(From another vendor) and Lenny whipped up a great 11" converter that is as tight as stock at light throttle but works great at WOT as well.

I use a Luppo Dynamic 9.5 street/strip converter in my 63 and I like it alot. Drives like a normal converter and flashes about 4200 at the track. Ron

I run a PTC Converter. Happy with it, good folks to deal with. At the least, you need to speak with a reputable MFG, fill out a spec sheet with all known info, and go from there for picking out the stall speed. Having a Dyno and knowing Max Torque Peak RPM is a real plus for you. Don't buy one off-shelf via best-guess work. Dialing in the correct stall speed for your complete setup is very important as far as performance. Coan, Dynamic & PTC all seem to have a pretty good reputation in the muscle/drag world.

Good luck

PTC has outstanding service and for the price are hard to beat. I also have used them in three cars and never had an issue including one with a 4200 stall that had great street manner
