Will a Turbo 400 torque converter work in a Powerglide?

Registered. Yes the glide has a bushing in it,the only thing we changed was the trans,th400 to a powerglide turbo input shaft w/bushing.

Will a Turbo 350 torque converter work in a Powerglide?

Powerglide and TH350 are definitely different splines. They won’t interchange in stock form.

How much HP can a powerglide hold?

A powerglide can indeed handle 440 hp, hust put a good cooler on it especially if you are putting a higher stall converter in it.

What type of torque converter do I need?

Stock torque converters generally have a stall speed around 1,800-2,000 rpm. Higher stall speeds become necessary when horsepower and torque happen at higher rpm ranges. You want stall speed and maximum engine torque to happen around the same rpm range.

Can a torque converter increase horsepower?

An automatic transmission in general has a way of soaking up horsepower, but the torque converter can take a potent combination and turn it into a pig when the rubber meets the road.

How much torque does a torque converter add?

Modern torque converters can multiply the torque of the engine by two to three times. This effect only happens when the engine is turning much faster than the transmission.

How much HP will a stock powerglide case handle?

1000 hp and fine, but in a light car heavy car will matter for sure.

How much power will a stock powerglide handle?

How much HP can a stock powerglide hold? With all the available upgrades, both the Powerglide and the TH400 are capable of withstanding an incredible 3,500 horsepower.

What size stall torque converter do I need?

For mild performance cars with something like a 350 HP engine, a 2,200 – 2,400 stall is about right. The basic rule of thumb is; if your engine “comes alive” at say, 3,500 RPM, then you want a stall converter with about 3,500 of stall to it.

Is a 3500 stall Streetable?

With the majority of street cars that are driven daily we build have stall converters ranging from 2,400 to 3,500, with no problem being street driven.

How much HP does a stall converter add?

The reason a stall converter works is simple; an engine at 1,200 RPM is only making about 80 or so horsepower (on average), but at 2,500 RPM it could be making 150 to 200 HP, and obviously trying to get a car moving using 150-200 HP is going to be much easier than one trying to launch at 80 HP or so.

What does a better torque converter do?

Torque converters allow you to shift up through the gears more quickly with less horsepower loss, because they eliminate that lag between optimum rpm and the fall-off in power until the next gear is fully engaged.
