[elusive]

my cam is WAY too big for the automatic i put in my jeep..i had to crank up the idle to keep the jeep from stalling when i put it gear and now i have to ride the brakes the whole time i am on the trail..... how bad an idea would a mild stall converter be? do they engauge abruptly or is it smooth? I have never been much of an automatic guy, but after crawling this past weekend, i am sold on it
anyone know what types of converters are available for the tf 727? this jeep only sees the road on the way to the trail.

~~Elusive~~
it's sort of still a cj thingy....

MY OPINION

dont try and fix the wrong cam with the wrong converter...

just get a low RPM, RV type cam

youll burn up that new tranny with a stall converter on your first big ledge..

Matt....Matt........NEVER get in the way of a man parting with his money!!

This guy will give you a converter for your 727 with any stall speed you want.

Not sure how to take that GeeAea,

umm, ok, I want a lock up style, 4000 RPM stall...

to go with my front dana 27, rear dana 30, and 2.72 axle gears with 35x15 inch tires...

acutally, its a 500 Caddy motor, with a blower, and 14.1:1 compression ( i kept it reasonable for the pump gas you know..)
It makes a 120 HP on teh dyno so I know its tuned SWEEEET

its too early for this...

as Ross would say "stick to the issues!"

I had the same problem as you elusive. my initial cam was a 224 .470 !!! in a little ole 283ci ! I went with a tc with more stall at first, I think it as 1800ish, one of thse TCI "saturday night" models for about $100, for a TH350 though. Still didn't like it. I just put in one of those comp Xtreme cams a few weeks ago. MAN, what a difference! WAY more bottom end, best $100 I ever spent. Installed it in straight up, and also put in an edle performer rpm. works for me.

Nothin' nasty, Matt/wwwthreads_images/icons/shocked.gif......just that many Jeepers spend much money on one or more forms of "abuse" to their rides. I just view an extreme torque converter, it's advantages and liabilities, in the same column as broken axles ......blown lockers ......shot 35" mutha humpin' tires......wrinkled sheetmetal..... bent frames.....and crushed windshields. I just don't see the difference. Where would this whole thing be if everyone heeded the words "what in the hell would you want to do that for"?
