How did you pick your torque converter?

Thanks, guys.. .

So my goal is to get the Magnum installed, sorted out and reliable this year, start hot-rodding next year (when I have some more money!)...

So if a new (or tweaked) TC will be necessary after the new cam, etc; should I just set it up with the the stock TC from the original 318 for now? I know it would suck for performance but IIRC, it is a neutral balanced unit...

Thoughts??

You're right about it being a neutral balanced unit.

What are your overall goals with the car? Are you trying to squeeze every last bit of E.T. out of it f or racing, or are you using it more for street/strip and just messing around?

If it's the latter, then the PTC unit that you're considering will be fine when you swap out to the Magnum motor. Otherwise, I agree with AbodyJoe. Hold off until you have the engine where you want it.
