torque converter swapping
Ok, i've read that you can put a chevy TH350/400 converter in a pontiac TH350/400, but can you put a pontiac converter in a chevy?

Either or both...IF (big IF) the fastener stand on the converter doesn't interfere with the flexplate, AND the bolt holes line up between converter and flexplate.
The big difference I see in converters is that some (Chevy) use formed-steel brackets welded to the converter, that have a bolt hole. A bolt and nut secure the converter to the flexplate. Others use bigass threaded lugs welded to the converter, no nut on the bolt. The bigass lugs seem to clear welded-on counterweights attached to the flexplate which the Chevy-style brackets don't. Of course, the switch-pitch 400 converters won't fit any 350s or non-switch-pitch 400s; and 350C torque converters won't fit a non-torque-converter-clutch 350 or any 400s. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
