I was thinking about going with the stall that they have over at bowtieoverdrives for the 2004r seems about right for what I am looking for anyone ever use those from then yet?
Ok, this one may sound dumb but what do I look at when choosing a stall converter...my engine is a 350 385/425 in the area...it has a big cam, full length headers, and I am going to do a 2004r swap from the th350 thats in there now.
Thanks For the Help
