Parts Wanted CJ Torque Converter - FOUND!

[Odysseus1968]

Hello all! Been awhile since I posted anything. I'm trying to source a torque converter for my 351C-4V, C6 combo with the D1ZZ-6375-C flex plate (has the 9.25" bolt circle which is often claimed to be 9.5" bolt circle). I understand this would have been the high-stall TC with part number D2OZ-7902-A. (Many write this as D20Z-7902-a with a zero...) It might've been D1ZZ-7902-A (with 8 mounting studs) also.

Does anyone have a used one that they'd be willing to part with?

Thanks in advance!
Brett

PNH shows both the 8 bolt and later 4 bolt style

Right on Hemikiller! Thank you for your reply!

Actually, I gave them a call and was told that they don't provide them; they'll only rebuild mine when I send them a core. So, I'm trying to chase down a used TC to send in.

I have the factory cj converter and four bolt flex plate for it. Let me dig it out and get some pictures today.

Sweet! Thanks for that! Standing by! (Also, sorry I didn't see your message yesterday!)

Thanks to 1973machi, I'm all set! And my project is back on track!

Any of you have experience with these? Wondering what RPM they typically stall at.

Hello basstrix,
The Ford-rated factory stall speed is 2750-2950 RPMs
My first experience with this type of converter was in a Q code '72 Gran Torino Sport. It made a world of difference in how it launched and drove. Although it was down on power compared to the M code '70 Torino GT I previously owned, it felt better by the "Seat of the Pants" meter. I later installed one in my '71 M code Mach1, which was a major improvement in its performance. The torque converter I pulled from the '71 Mach 1 is the same as used in my parent's '74 LTD brougham with a 400 engine. Ford made a poor choice in using that convertor in any performance vehicle.

You are going to enjoy the difference!

I have two of these, one in each of my '72s. My Q code convertible has one from the factory, and my Mach 1 has one that I bought from my local dealership's parts department in the early1980's. In short, very worth it. Remember, the TC's job is torque multiplication, and these gems do a great job of it. You're basically putting the engine closer to peak torque output than the "standard" 11+" converter does at and before stall RPM. Hence the harder seat-of-pants feel at launch. On the TC is in lockup, the pull you feel is just the engine's power and torque as it would be in a standard transmission application.
