I would look for and buy a new custom built 8 inch race converter from the best company you can I had a custom 10 inch converter built for my street and strip stroker BB 512 C.I. Duster, I broke it after several years of racing and driving it, I had brand new Turbo Action 8 inch race hemi converter I had taken in trade on some motor work so I ended up puting it in the car and the car picked up .2 Et and 2.2 MPH inthe 1/8 mile It drove a lot better at the track (higher foot stall ) and on the street A good race converter will drive nice on the street also

Call Lenny at Ultimate Converters.....

On this site, this question always ends up with the majority of responses being either Ultimate or Dynamic.

I run a Dynamic 9-1/2", and it works real well for me, although my car is a slow street car.

PTC converters and Kenny is also a mopar guy.

Call any one of these good converter companies......Ultimate , Dynamic , PTC , Turbo Action , ATI or any other good converter company. Pick the one you like best by seeing how cars run with that companies converter and reputation of them. All the ones I just said are good converter companies and there is more out there so once you decide which one to use call and talk to them to build your converter as they will need all the info about your car. Myself I have use Turbo Action and Dynamic and both work great for me. Ron

Call one and see if they ask a zilion questions about your ride. I've used PTC and Turbo Action with good results. My PTC did exactly whay he said it would do. The TA was also great
