Any good alternatives to these TC's? I need a good 1600 stall for my truck when I put the new tranny in, but I don't want to sell my liver, ya know? I know it makes a huge difference with the TM ratio's, I'm just looking for a somewhat less expensive alternative. (700R4 30 spline 4x4)

Just get a beefed up torque convertor. like a B and M or TCI or hughes.

have the stock unit rebuilt by a reputable trans shop and have them up the stall when they do it. I've had a few done this way and it works good, its not like your drag racing or anything so it'll be more than good enough and only costs around 260$ or so

Why only 1600, thats stock isn't it? with your gears and tire size I would go with at least a 2000 to 2200 and add an external trans cooler. That 350Ho will be glad you did.

what about the S10 converter? What kind of TC are you running, Blue71? Obviously 2200 but what brand

s10 is aprox. 2200 to 2600 depending on how much power you have

Had it built by chance transmissions same guys that built the 5500 stall TC in my 69 Nova.
it ran about 225.00 for the 2200
