I'd give up launch to have the benefit of torque converter lock up......




Not me.. if you run a 4.10 gear with a 295/55 tire
I run 75 mph at 2900 rpm... thats with a 5000 stall..
if you want to run faster than 80 mph then thats your choice

Plenty of companies that make GOOD hi-stall lockup converters out there. I would try an ATS or DTT company for one IMO. The clutches are designed for Diesel torque.


Mopar to the bone!!!

Did a few hours of research on the 518 and talked to some local HP trans type shops plus a few people that are experts from here

and, well ..

I am going to use a 727 with a gear vendor

Mock up with be with a shorty style 727 and when we get to the OD stage , the mount will have adjustment (not supposed to need any)

and make a torque tube then


More pics will be posted this week, made more progress
