Torque converter arrived

Converters are a special piece. Within certain limits, you kinda get what you pay for. There are "off the shelf" street type converters for just a few hundred dollars. Then there are really high tech unbreakable user adjustable units that go for several thousand. Most of us are in the middle. The last two converters I bought were 9.5 units for a slant six. They will stall about 3000-3200 with a 170 engine, and about 3800-4000 with a 225. I don't need the strongest internals, as I don't make massive torque/power. One of my 170 engines (only one I've had on the dyno) made 354 lb/ft at 2900 rpm. They cost me in the $600-$700 area. The main thing is use a reputable builder, and be honest with the info you give him.
