70 chevelle th400 converter

[chevelle289]

hey guys me again, okay so i have a 79 355ci SBC with mild mods pushing around say 365hp backed by a 78 th400 i just got from a good buddy of mine. Now what would the stock stall for a th400? just trying to find a good stall speed a bit higher then stock for that little gain in launch speed. and one more thing , does anyone have a vid or pics on the removal and replacement of a valvebody on a th400? ive only been able to find them on like 40l60s

Man, I've got the perfect stall for you.
It's a TCI-241500A that was in my '67 for one month last fall when the Chevelle had a mild SB in it to move around until my 496 was completed.
Bet it doesn't have 200 miles on it...then was taken out and put back in it's original box.
I bought it brand new from Summit...it stalls about 2200...which is 400-500 rpm over stock.

I'll sell it for $135 shipped

im sorry , actually less than an hour after i posted this i called up my buddy who runs a drag shop not to far from me and he hooked me up with the same exact converter you have there for 180 brand new, thanks for your time though, and still on that th400 valve body replacement? how hard can it be?
