Cam Centerline questions
More on stall. Street use vs. Strip use. Dynamic convertors told me when I had them build my custom convertor that ideally the stall should be approx where you make peak torque. My car was street/strip. The engine made 514ft/lbs @ 3900-4100. I sent them the dyno sheet and they built me a "tight 9" convertor that stalled right in that range.
Before buying the convertor i'd wait until you get the engine back from the dyno. See what it does.
Thanks for all the answers! Alot of that I kind of assumed/educated guessed, good to hear that I may not be too far off yet lol.
Thats exactly what I thought about a converter, especially since I have never built something like this before.
I always just built engines with at the most a little more compression, and that was 1 engine--a 455 olds, and it was barely 9.5-9.6, and I was only 18. Sincethen, its been basic rebuilds with mild (
[email protected]) cams, old style intakes (LD340, strip dominator), I have only paid for machine work on one engine, the 455, and that was just bore/hone/tank/polish/press pistons. Not even a balance job. I always port my own heads, and I do go into meticulous detail setting things up. I just never had the money to "build" an engine (yeah, like I do right now haha).
I could spec out parts for a 360 like that all day long, converter, whatever. But, this is way more expensive, and alot different. I am glad to be able to get advice and recommendations from everyone here. Keep it coming!
