270 is the largest without changing the converter this is a mild to rough idle and may not be good for a daily driver u should also add a intake and a good header for a good combo the cam is not enough and will not work well on its owne

How do you get a sbc with a big cam and 700r4 to idle in gear?
You must change your stock torque converter to a stall converter with at least a 2500 to 2900 stall speed. Yes the torque converter is the big round thing that bolts to the fly wheel and it 's inside the transmission.
Can you run a 3500 stall torque converter on a stock engine?
You could but the fuel mileage would take a beating.
What is the rated stall speed on a stock torque converter for a 2000 Pontiac Firebird 3800 V6 with a 4L60e transmission?
watch the rpms when you break stand the car
Which torque converter is best for a turbo 400 hydramatic transmission?
that all depends on what engine you have and the cam in your engine and your rearend gear and what you want to do with the car, once you figure that out you will have a better idea what stahl converter you need, other than that I would just put the stock converter in it.
Can I use a camshaft with a 488 lift with freshly rebuilt stock 462 double hump heads on a 350 without getting bigger springs?
Yes you can you can to a cam with 501 lift that,s the maximum for a stock gm head. You will also have to change your torque converter or it won,t idle unless you have your foot on the accelerator.
Whats the difference between a lock up torque converter and a stock one?
A standard torque converter always transmits the power through the fluid - even at crusing speed. This results in slippage and reduced effeciency. With a lock up torque converter clutch, once you are near crusing speed the clutch locks up the torque converter so that it rotates as a solid unit. If you need extra power - climbing a steep hill, etc it will unlock. As a result you have improved fuel mileage and less heat generated in the transmission. If you have a tach you will see the RPM drop about 200 ( more or less) when the clutch locks.
Can the torque converter be emptied or does it have to be rebuilt for your 350?
You can empty it out and change the fluid if there is nothing wrong with it and the stock stall speed will still work with the engine you will be putting in front of it. It's basically a fluid coupling. Since it's full of fluid and the fluid does most of the work, there is very, VERY little wear inside a converter. The only exception is if you have a lockup torque converter. The clutches inside lockup converters DO wear out and ultimately fail.
How many quarts of tran fluid does a TH400 take?
The transmission with the stock passegger car pan takes 6 quarts. If you are using a factory steel pan add 2 more for a total of 8. The torque converter will take 5 for a stock 13 incch converter. Be sure to put a quart in the converter before installion. Typical performance converters will, because they are smaller, take less. A 10 or 11 inch converter will take approx. 3 qts.
How much horsepower does a stock 1990 Camaro RS V8 5.0L have?
Quote:AnswerIt also helps that the camaros with the 5.0 (I'm not sure if this applys to V6 or for standard transmissions) and an automatic transmission come STOCK with a torque converterThink about it, all automatics have to have a torque converter, otherwise there'd be nothing to put engine power into the gearboxon the other hand, standards would have a clutchsure there are semi automatics which have a manual shift and a torque converter, but this doesn't tend to be in quite the same way. and to my knowledge, no Camaro has ever used a system like this. mainly because it's a terrible way to do it, IMHONo, I mean that the automatics have a torque converter that kicks in at 2,200 rpm (if my memory serves me) which takes the extra torque and uses a separate set of gears to crank up the speed further, which is completely different from most automatic transmission. Because the 5.0 has so much torque compared to the horse power, the torque converter really makes a huge difference. The torque converter in the 3rd generation camaros is more like the kind you would put in a standard transmission for extra kick.yep, from that point of view, I can agree :)although I don't know the exact specs on the Camaro, never had anything to do with one
