    Best Gears for a 408 Stroker?

    Yeah, a 408 in a Dart is sweet. Sold mine to a member here, regretted it since it rolled down the street with him... Good luck.

    Best Gears for a 408 Stroker?

    Less gear, less snap. No way around it. 408's like to windup, so you will lose some grunt, but you and the engine will be happier. I had a 408 with 3:73's and a 4-speed and I liked it but, the highway was a problem. 3:23's will help but... .. "IMHO" without knowing your setup, a well tuned 750...

    3800 converter too much ?

    Gave it my best shot that day. I may just sit until spring and look for something then. As your also aware we're both headed into 6 months of misery .. Surprised you didn't throw it on here to sell, it's a lot of car. You did a real nice job.

    3800 converter too much ?

    Yeah it is. I've been a 4 speed guy for so long never had much schooling on what the proper automatic set up can do OR as important how it works. Old dog thing proved wrong.

    3800 converter too much ?

    Yeah, I learned something .. the car really kicks in with that converter. We took it out and drove normally and then really got on it and it was completely fine both ways. I thought it would feel like the trans was slipping until 3800 but it was fine. He uses both the radiator cooler and...

    3800 converter too much ?

    Sometimes I think the difference is someone over 55 opinion of a street car and a guy in his 20's :lol: I'll get to drive it next week and get info on the converter, we'll see then.

    3800 converter too much ?

    " why are you even looking at this car. seems so far away from what you want. you sound like you would be happier with basically stock 360 and 3.23 gears." I have a '68 Charger 383 2 bbl / auto and that drive train is fine with me because of the car it's in, and I can cruise around all day.. I...

    3800 converter too much ?

    Yeah I need to drive to see, but I was wondering if other non-racing types use them. I figured it would generate heat and it does have a extra trans cooler. The combo is new so I'll check with him to see the brand and size. I do some highway driving and was thinking this thing is slipping until...

    3800 converter too much ?

    Thinking of buying a '73 Duster 360/380 crate, 3:70 rear gear, built 904 with a 3800 stall .. Going to see it next week. The 3800 has me concerned. I sort of understand how the converters work, my concern is streetablity of this high stall. This is a street car for me, maybe a run down the...

    Torque Converter stall ??

    if you have a 3200 stall converter and are driving on the highway continuously at 2800 rpm's, is the converter slipping until you hit approx. 3200. Doesn't that translate to extra heat for the converter and the trans.

    low gear reduction with 3.91 sure grip

    Looking to go and see a B-body out of town that has a 727 and this low gear reduction added to trans. What is the story with this addition. Drove with spliters on standard shift vehicles but not any automatics. Good/bad
