OK, here is where my 'figerin' has got me so far: '63 dart, full interior, street car. 904/225 Right now it has an open 7.25 of undetermined ratio. I also have a narrow (57-59 ford) 9 inch with 3.55 gears. What converter would work well with the 3.55 gears and this engine combination? Feel free to comment, critique or otherwise, it's all good. 225 9:1 CR "Good" valve job, bowl and port clean up and ports matched. Erson RV15 Cam H-Pak 450cfm Holley VS Thanks, Brad |

Looks to me that you already have a rear end gear ratio, 3.55 So based on that and the fact that you want the converter engaged at freeway speed, I would shoot for 3000 stall. DD |

Yes, I would prefer to use as much of what I already have if and when I can. Thanks for the info Doc. Brad. |

I have 3.73 gears and before i put the 4spd in my 904 had a 3000rpm stall it was sweet as the car got faster i could foot brake a bit above 3000rpm also Kev |

I agree - 2800-3000 stall in a 9.5" or 10" converter. Lou |
