converter ?
 

I am looking at buying a new converter from a guy that states it is a vega converter that was cut open rebuilt,cleaned up and set for 3700stall and it is a 10inch 350 converter. My question is I can't find any info on a vega converter, company or anything. Is it a chevrolet vega stock converter that was rebuilt and changed or is there and actual company called vega converter?
Thanks!!

if its a stock vega stahl it want take a whole lot of power it will come apart..and if it is a vega convertor you will have to drill your flywheel to get it to bolt up. thats the problems i have run into with them..good for a street vert but not race..JMO

thanks, I will pass on it..

if oldani would come in he could tell ya for sure he is the tranny guru

Nice bike!!! I use to have an 01 gixxer 1000, damn do I miss it....

vega convertor
 

Know body can tell you what a convertor stalls at unless the know what torque your motor puts out. buy a convertor from a manufacture who will set it up for your application a 5000 stall in my car might stall 3500 in yours

As a very general rule of thumb, each 50 hp move will change stall speed roughly 200 rpm. I'd advise you to use a decent converter. At least one with furnace-brazed fins and possibly anti-balooning plates. It's easier to spend your dollars once than twice!

Have to agree with OLDani, Im afraid. One thing I have learned over the years is to never buy a used converter unless you know the guy real well and the car it came out of.
Nothing will pi** you off more than buying a "good used converter", going through all the work to install it, driving 2 hours to the track, and finding out the converter is junk....
Buy one from a known manufacturer. Call several and ask them for their recomendation for your vehicle.

call Greg Slack.

need a number for greg slack
 

call marty at neal chance and be done with it. there not cheap but like the guys say it will be cheaper in the long run.

I've been real happy with my Hughes. :)

HUGHES ! HUGHES ! HUGHES !

IF YOU CAN, BUY A TAKE APART ( BOLT TOGETHER) CONVERTER!! ITS THE NICEST THING TO CHANGE STALL, LOOK IT ALL OVER INSIDE. THEY ARE MORE MONEY BUT I NEVER REGRET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ITS SAVES ME MORE TIME IN THE END, AND THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOUGH!!

Do you like Hughes?

Do you like Hughes?

:D :D :D


reference the orginal post...i ran those Vega converters when i was 16 rys old and making 2.25 per hour as a bag boy at Winn-Dixie..we had no Money back then and had to run these converters...it would run good for about a month...then start slipping more and more and more until the car would not move...take the converter out and it sounded like a JIG SAW puzzle rattling around...buy another one for $25.00 and go again.
