TH400 Guys.... What Converter?

I am swapping in a LQ9 in my m1009 (d60, 14b, 4:56's, 38's) and I had my th400 rebuilt with a shift kit, etc. Here is the specs on the cam I am running:
222/224 @ .50, .566/.568 lift

What converter will hold up?

Re: TH400 Guys.... What Converter?

Sorry, I can't really help on your converter selection. Not really sure. You should be able to contact whoever you are getting your converter through, and tell them what your building. I know all the stuff you listed comes into play. They might want to know the weight of the rig too. Those 5/4-ton trucks ain't light.

The main reason I posted though was just to beg you to put a work log up! I would love to see this! The only thing better then a LQ9 would be a Duramax.

I need to start a thread with what it takes to put one on a 4x4, I will when I get a chance. I wish I could afford a dmax and allison but you are talking about a 8-10 grand swap right there
