Ok. I'm looking into aftermarket Torque Converters for my Cordoba Street/Strip car. I've been told 3000 stall would help get the big car off the line. (I'm Building a stout 360. You'll see I'm sure Ill have more questions when I start working on it.) Now. 360s are externally balanced, correct? So to use this TC Converter since its a neutral balance I would also need to use this flex plate? Flexplate Sorry If I'm annoying you guys but I'm only 20 and I wanna make sure I'm spending my money on the right things to have a killer combo not a cobbled together mess that was really expensive and doesn't perform at the track.

I just came across this weighted TC. If I got this one I would not need to change flexplates correct? TC

Either way works fine, the advantage to the weighted flexplate is it's easier to find neutral balanced convertors & you might decide you'd like more stall after you've tried the 3K

If your building the engine, get the weighted flexplate and have the engine balanced with it, then you can use any neutral balance converter.
This will give you a better balanced package, because the balance weights on the converters vary depending on year and big/small block as they all use different weights for the offset balance.

The B&M flex plates are drilled for the stock 5/16" and aftermarket 7/16" torque converter bolts. B&M #10236 is for 727 transmissions, and B&M #10239 is for the 904 transmission.
