1974 - 904 Transmission Reverse/Low Band - ???
Hey Transman, I have a question on another subject if you could help shed some light I'd appreciate it much. I just found out I have another small block 318/225 slant six 904 high stall torque converter after searching up the written numbers & letters on the TQ -- It's the CR8H Torque Converter (non lock-up). I'm still learning about what high stall TQ's are all about. I'm wondering if you knew the exact stall rpm rating of this TQ, or a given range. Since this later 904 is finally rebuilt, I don't want to go with the stock TQ, one, it has a ton of junk inside (yes I know I can take it to get cleaned), two, I know there's a better TQ out there that'll help my Barracuda get up and go. My transmission guy recommended a 2400rpm stall converter for my setup, stock 318 Magnum (carbureted), 7 - 1/4" rear with 2.76 highway gears. He said run that 2400rpm stall TQ till my 7 - 1/4" rear breaks (lol). I know my rear end sucks and it probably won't be the best TQ to throw at until I throw an 8 - 3/4" rear in (which I have, think it has 3.23 gears). Just wondering if that CR8H high stall TQ I have is better than the stock 904 TQ, and if I should run it, or go with a different TQ. 27 Spline count is what my 904's input shaft is, same for the CR8H TQ.
