  • High stall converter installed and road test in my 1968 Dodge Dart. My Dodge Dart needed this loose stall converter for drag racing and it is a 4500 stall installed in a dodge 727 torque flight transmission. This shows you what’s it like driving with a high stall converter in the street

    Been driving a 'you can't drive that on the street' car for years. 5,000 converter, reverse manual, 430s with spool. 415ci sbc, 14-1cr, .710 lift solid roller etc etc. Besides normal maintenance I've only had to change valve springs, distributor gear and i wore out my fuel pump after roughly 10,000 street miles and dozens of passes. Practical? Hell fn no. Nothing practical about 3-4 mpg. But awesome? Hell yes. You only live once. Build your hotrod the way you want and enjoy it. Drive it. Race it. Love your car bro 👌

      Yep...I used to have to brew up my own octane booster for my hotrods back in the late 1970's and 1980's....there was NO good gas anywhere around where I lived....but I had a hookup at the airport who would sell me 5gal cans of AV gas that I'd blend with the crap unleaded of the day and toluene and xylene and some other goodies....it ran my 12.6 and 13:1 motors just fine :D I'd have to go out and stash a couple cans of 'refill' gas around in strategic places just in case I got low...lol

      Does a high stall mean it's mostly slipping until it gets to that rpm?

    • @albertgaspar627
      @albertgaspar627 4 года назад +18

      To use clutch terms, that's about what it's doing. The best way to think of it, is imagine two fans facing each other on a table. The air in between, is transmission fluid. Switch only one fan on (that would be the turbine connected to the crank), and it begins to blow air into the other fan.
      If the fan is large and its blades are shaped a certain way, then it doesn't take very long before its blown enough air into the opposing fan for that fan to begin turning too....and soon at the same rate as the first fan. That would be a low stall speed torque converter.
      Now imagine a table with a smaller first fan and its blades are shaped a certain way. It too throws air into a second fan, but its not a lot of air. The second fan's blades turn slowly, lazily...it takes longer for the first fan to send enough air into the second that the second fan is turning as fast as the first.
      that's the problem of a hydraulic coupling. Where it shines is at idle at a stoplight...you don't have to disconnect it like you would a clutch, since the "first fan" (or turbine) isn't pushing enough "air" that the "Second fan" is going to override your foot on the brake pedal.

You can swap from 1,800 RPM stall speed to 3,300 RPM. Its two converters in one, GM used it for their two speeds when they got real heavy with the cars. But its a kick ass street/strip technology...for the 1970's :)

    I used to run 8" 5,000 on the street. Much like you just illustrated, the amount of stall was RPM dependent.
    Little bit of throttle was maybe 3,000. WOT would be 4,500-5,000 depending on gear. Was a very high compression motor with a lot of cam. Only downside was MPG if you care about that kind of thing.

    I can share an old trick for you that has worked many times for me over the years. First, get two long 3/8-16 bolts about 3-1/2" long. Next, cut off the top hex where the socket goes with a dremel tool or cut-off wheel. Next, place the two bolts in a vice and using a dremel cut-off blade, score two grooves into the top of the bolts about 1/8" or 5mm deep. Keep the score lines in the center of the bolt. Lastly, bevel the top of the bolts slightly with a grind-off wheel. Use these two bolts to thread into the back of the block as alignment dowels for the trans bell housing and finger tighten. After the trans is on and secured with two regular attachment bolts, remove the long bolts with a screw driver in the slots created by the dremel and save for another day in your tool box. This works for any auto trans install as long as the bolt threads match the block. Since most are 3/8-16, that is the number I provided. Take care and thanks for the continued updates!

    I reved my stock bottom end 360 to 7200 to 7500 rpm all the time no issues. With that high a stall converter you might have to up your shift rpm or your usable window is going to be pretty small at 1500 to 2000 rpm. Nice car though. What does it weigh. How is the DA at your local track. Ours is shitty out here in Edmonton Alberta. My best pass ever in my 6 speed 2010 SRT8 Challenger with kenne bell at 12 lbs boost was an 11.74 at 121.55 mph and DA was 3900 feet. Car with 1/2 tank of gas and me in car at starting line is 4600 lbs.

    Super nice car brother and sounds awesome....I changed out my converter from a 3600 to a 4500 and it picked up 4 tenths in the 1/8th and the engine was so much more free when driving around it wasn't in a bind at all it is just like yours while at driving speeds it revs so clean and holding the foot brake it will go to 4500 and not even pull on the car until I mat it and then it felt like I dropped a clutch on a stick car it's amazing how good they work when they're done right... awesome car brother can't wait to see it at track...

    Have had several cars. But my favorite was 68 Falcon. 71 mach 1 drivetrain. R Code351. Candy apple red. With torque thrust wheels. 2800 stall. 4500 would of been fun. Car was faster than my big block chevelles and camaros.

    Love your dart , had to subscribe especially since I recently purchased 68 dart from Oklahoma. 30 yrs ago I had 70 dart with 318 I installed with a Mopar guy and the whole time I had it I wanted 67 to 69 anyway , I heard you and Dylan maccool both say neutral fills up the convertor, did not know that . Love your content , backing out of garage etc all awesome keep vids coming !

    I was pretty surprised to hear you say "Stock bottom end" Ive not had the pleasure of installing a 4500 RPM stall converter in a car with a stock rotating assembly . I reserve those nicer converters for cars with engines that can fully utilize the potential of the New High stall converter by allowing the motor to spin up to it's shift point to fully take advantage of all that converters potential ..I personally would NOT like to be the guy who is behind the wheel of a stock bottom car while i'm in the 6500 RPM neighborhood for anything other than a missed shift ...But maybe thats just me getting older ...wiser ???

    I went with low stall, 15-1800 towing converters, and they work great in my C-10's with 700r4's. Very streetable, with all the low down grunt you need when you need it.

      My cams are Competition Cams, 456, with 268 duration in my small block, a 460 economizer cam in my big block. I did this because I want low end, "stump pulling" power, TORQUE, not necessarily higher horsepower, for those times I need to pull a trailer. However, for those times my right foot feels heavy, they both can still "shit n git" when I need to!

    All the time that your under 4500 rpm your slipping, hope your monitor your trans temps, and usually a big block uses a 3500 stall and the 4500 is for a small block think about it you only have 2100 rpm to your shift pint from you stall your gonna go through the gears quick on the track
