My torque converter is with Lenny at Ultimate Converters.
He has a "High Stall stator" ordered tells me I am going to need a need a pump hub. Hope it will be done and back by the end of the month.
Lenny called this morning. My converter is done and will be shipped back today or tomorrow.
Questions.
Lenny said to use a MOPAR Performance flex plate with 7/16th bolts. He said I should use an SFI approved flex plate. I currently have a non-SFI approved TCI Forged Flexplate #145300, described as; Internal Engine Balance, 7/16 in. Bolt, 8-Bolt, Mopar, 727/904, Forged Crank, 426 Hemi. A link to it follows. Do I really need to change the Flexplate or will the TCI flexplate be fine? See
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TCI-145300As for the converter bolts, Lenny recommended MOPAR Performance 7/16-20 bolts (P4529592) . Will ARP Torque Converter Bolts 240-7302
(
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/arp-240-7302/overview ) work just as well? Will the MOPAR Performance bolts eliminate the need for sanding the bolts down?
If ARP bolts are fine, should I spend the extra for the TCI Torque Converter Bolts #146200 (
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tci-146200/overview )?
Or, should I use the MOPAR Performance #P4529592 bolts that appear to be discontinued but still out there?
