Hello All,
Looking to see if anyone has recently dealt with getting a torque converter for their 426 Hemi / auto mopar. I'm working on a '69 Dodge Charger 500 426 HEMI car. I'd like to deal with someone/firm that deals with this on a regular basis.... Haven't had to buy a Hemi torque converter in a LONG time.. I know there's the external balancing to consider..
Thanks.. Troy

I know there's the external balancing to consider.. Huh ??? to my knowledge hemis were internally balanced None of the 426 hemi motors made by Mopar, street or race hemi, where external balanced Same on all the early Hemi motors in all brands of Mopars made before 1959 OP, are you talking about some of Gen 3 late model hemiroid motors ?

Hey Cab,, So, I don't need to worry about balancing weights like what was on the 6bbl motors? I know 6bbls has weights on them........ So I just need to consider the larger lugs and what stall I want? If so, that makes things easier......

Troy, I also went with a Turbo Action Hemi Torque converter (model #17501). This was pretty much a stock build 426 for my 68 Road Runner. I really like how it feels and would use it again. https://youtu.be/l-bhI1FDUWE Nice !!! I will try to call them again in the morning...... Hopefully the phone number works this time... Nice looking and sounding Runner !!!

Were there any 440's with an 11" vert? I thought all 440-s came with 12", even 3- 2s.
Joe Starting in '73 the 11" converter became available on select forged-crank 440's.... the same converter as the /6, 318 and 340.
