So with a II 62/71...6x.016's a piston lift pump and a slightly tweeked pump 4in exhaust and intake,what kinda HP/TQ numbers should I see.I know the main downfall will be the slushamatic...also on the way to get my turbo installed ,I cracked the flexplate and grenaded the starter,ya gotta pay to play.Ezra

 

i would say maybe around 360 horse? tq i dunno it seems 1st gens can vary alot when it comes to tq

 

350 hp and prob only like 550 torque becase of your stock trans and stock torque converter. id say its a 350hp and 750 ft lb set up. but you need a converter and valve body to get the real power to the ground

 

300-350, like stated before the stock trans will kill you. With what i have done, i made 304hp...

 

yeah I realy like larger tq numbers...so for a converter and valvebody what brand and what kinda cost am i looking at?

 

I had my 518 built for like 1800-2000 top to bottom if i remember correctly?

DTT Torque converter is the first upgrade i would do because youre just going to over heat your transmission from slippin.

 

Goerend .. havent heard anything bad about him. JD730 has a goerend tranny. Call him up, hes great to talk to on the phone. Tell him you have a 93 518 and your looking for a triple disc converter and a valvebody upgrade NOT A SHIFTKIT.

 

The disc converters are for the lock up transmissions. I just got a converter from them and I talked to Dave directly told him what I had and what I was looking to do (poss twins and large injectors) and that I towed a little and he gave me a 15 blade left hand converter as he called it and said that it would handle 500hp before I would notice any slippage.
