Hoping this helps clear up some of the confusion for those who didn't know. 👍
Wish l knew this before going up with trans wrong sizes. Will measure the next.
Great info
question,i have a 6 bolt flywheel that had a 3 bolt converter on it.should i get the 6 bolt or am i fine getting another 3 bolt? its a 383 planning on making decent horsepower,just street car though
Our Third Gen Camaro is making north of 900hp and running 5s with a 3 bolt converter. You’ll be fine. 😉
So this was very helpful to me cause I just did this and didnt understand. On a side note that is not how you measure a wheel lug pattern. It’s measured from the outside of the hole to center of the other.
Thanks for watching. Glad this video helped you out!
Does this also apply to Chrysler torque converters?
This is how you measure a bolt circle regardless of brand
I’m assuming the measuring system you just said it’s on a mopar too ?
Unless Chrysler got together with every mathmatics professor in the world and changed the way a circle is measured without me knowing about it.
@@BadLuckGarage okay thank you, it’s a 1978 Dodge truck with a 400 , 6.6 with 727 Transmission, but thanks for replying back
I picked up a flex plate for a 440 mopar and bought a th400 conversion and it is telling me use a 6x10.750 converter what's the 6 mean exacly
Most likely the number of bolts used.
@@BadLuckGarage do I have to use all 6 I cant find for the life of me a 6 bolt 10.75 th400 converter
@@gunsandhorsepower no
@@BadLuckGarage will just the 3 line up to 3 of the 6
@@gunsandhorsepower If it’s the correct bolt circle on both the converter and the flexplate then yes. As an example, a 4L80e flexplate is 6x11.5” but a 3x11.5” TH400 torque converter will bolt directly to it, there will just be 3 unused holes on the 4L80e flexplate.
you the man! this is the Exact video i was looking for! im tryin to buy a new converter and was coming up with 9 3/8 lol now i know why😆
Glad I could help
I have been having a melt down trying to figure out what you answered in this video. Could not find a 10" flexplate anywhere LoL
Lol, yea I was getting that a lot after my video on using older transmissions in LS swaps so I made this video instead of trying to explain it in the comments over and over again.
Lmao I Love It Brought They A$$ Back To 4th Grade Your The Goat 🐐 🤣🫡
Lol.
Thank you for this!
Nice vid man! Thank you
No problem brother. Glad you found this information helpful. 👍
What’s a torque converter? Lol
No clue, but people keep asking about it. I think it’s like a big imaginary donut or something. 🤣
To convert any fraction to a decimal all you have to do is divide the small number by the large number for instance 3/4 as a fraction converted to a decimal would be 3 divided by 4 would equal 0.75 which equals .750 it works for any fraction that you want to convert to a decimal. Like 5/8 say 5 divided by 8 equals 0.625
Wheel bolt circle is actually measured the same way.
@@Kellyoest Yes sir a lug pattern can be measured with either method although it’s easier to just skip the math and measure lug to lug. Unfortunately you don’t get that option with a 3 bolt converter and it’s caused a lot of confusion and questions on a previous video. Hence this video.
@@jsteed4388 Correct. 👍
