340 torque converter is recommended a lot here to a lot of people. Does anyone make these "off the shelf" ? And yes, off the shelf should be available since it's a replacement part. Not one that "will work" in it's place, or "should be about the same"... but one that functions like the original because it's designed to be the replacement. I shouldn't have to call PTC or Dynamics or Coan to get a replacement for a factory converter.

Thanks,

You'd think, but not long after the 7/70 warranty ran out on My '88 ShelbyZ, nobody sold struts or shocks calibrated for the stiffer springs & stabilizer bars........it was one strut/shock fits-all......I talked to a Cardone Rep who said I could send My struts & shocks in & they'd rebuild them.
 
I have a NOS 340 converter I will sell, but it's buried out in my cluttered garage and I won't be able find and dig it out till spring. Sorry.

Get a 3500 stall converter and don't let anyone talk you different. If you want performance like an original 340 car . Remember an engines torque will also determine the stall also. If it stalls less then 3000 it will be a pig from a dead stop. A stock 340 will stall at about 3000-3200 with a 3500. All factory 340 cars I owned would brake stall between 2800-3200.

Most all the plow trucks came with a low stall 2200-2600 . I don't believe your building a plow truck.

My B300 van came with that stall on its 318 and I'm now using it on my 70 340 in the same van. I have no complaints. My point here is, look for a one ton van or truck convertor.

Call performance Torque converter in New Hampton. They have a nice 10” for about $400. I believe the stall is 2200/2500.
