I've had it with this torque converter bull ****

americanmuscle said

I can understand if i need a spacer for the early torque converter like my slant six, but I'm dealing with .003" I need to grind off. no adapter would work in that situation, but can I do what mrmopartech suggested? or I know I guy with a '67 conveter, will that work?

If it really is .003" and not .030", then you can simply use a hone (pictured below) attached to a drill to enlarge the crank pocket where the converter rides. I've done this MANY times when a converter won't go in, or fit's a little tight in the crank pocket.



Often times in order to use a HEMI fuel or alcohol crank, in our 440's and 426 HEMI's with a torque converter--the back of the crankshaft pocket is machined the proper amount.

In my opinion, you don't ever want to machine ANY part of the torque converter.
