318 converter behind a 360?

[LXguy]

Hey All:

Anyone ever done this? Being told its a way to cheat into a slightly higher stall than stock.

Just for a street car, so it doesn't need anything fancy.

Thanks

Steve

The balance weight will need to be added as the 360 is external balance. Dont know about the stall as there are just to many variables to say if it will help or not.

I believe you could just get th B&M flexplate that looks like it has a bite taken out... http://www.jegs.com/i/B&M/130/10239/10002/-1 ... so to speak and not need a the weight...I dont know if it will give you anymore stall but one from a slant 6 will...thats what I have behind behind mine and I get about 400 rpm more stall...puts me at about 2100

Oh ya that'll fix it! Forgot about that piece.

The weights on this are on the flexplate, so it needs a neutral balance converter anyway.

Your 360 has the B&M flex plate so you can run a netral balanced converter allready? Excellent.

904 or 727?

At a quick look, not that I know whats good or bad in the automatic world......
Summits quick find on TCI equipment. A couple of hundred isn't to bad for some stall. Alot depends on how much stall your after.

Good point. Mine is a Magnum. The weights are on the flexplate already. I'm running a 904.

Thanks!
