Where to find a stock torque converter for a 67 street hemI? Any rebuilders have them like the #764 340 unit?

Try calling Pat Blais in the Seattle area. He's on Ebay as tflite_patty or something similar.

The Hemi converter is just a 764 with larger threads in the drive lugs. Some claim to have tapped the lugs oversize in situ.

the lugs are different for a 7/16" bolt street hemi converter than a 5/16" bolt 383 converter. pretty sure a 383 4bbl converter, other than lugs, is the same as a street hemi. the street hemi 7/16" lug is fatter were the threaded bolt hole is vs the 5/16".

The hemi converter has a bump in the case just outside of the snout, the front pump needs to be clearanced so the converter doesn't rub the pump body.

Yes the 7/16 lugs are much larger than the 340 converter.

The machining you show isn't for a factory Hemi converter which has the same bowl as any other 10 3/4" converter. Only for the 10" and smaller require pump cover machining.

I know some have said the clearance issue is on the opposite side of the converter. I have heard the crank side of the converter is clearanced more for the 8 bolt crankshaft mounting. You can do it but need to use thin headed bolts or there is interferance. No experience here, just what I read on here.

Did it work any different than the stock converter in the 68 RR?

Not what I'm saying. You could run a hemi converter on a 383 crank but not vise-versa without the thin bolt heads......

how thin are the heads ? would grade 8 bolts be ok to machine down the heads ? if so, a thickness dimension would be great to have ! got tons of regular grade 8 bolts in stock.
TIA bow

thanks for the link, but the last part contained a follow up link to a pic [i think that would show the bolt head thickness] that was not available due to the "file being empty".
most likely because the post was from 2010.
