Best place to buy engine/tranny parts?

[ChevyRidinLowtn]

I got a new project truck, a 77 c10 with a built 350. I'm looking to get a 3000 stall torque converter. Where could I probably find the best prices? What brand(s) should I go with?

I can't help you with brand names but SummitRacing.com is usually who I look to buy engine/trans parts through 90% of the time.

Here's a few I found.

I don't really know alot about this stuff.

[Tryin2layadime]

B&M = brand name
summit = generic

basically its purity milk or walmart brand milk

both are a good product. and there is only like 20 bucks differance.

Alright thanks.

I'm thinking I'm probably going to get this Holley 650 Carb for it.

The guy that I bought the truck off of didn't know what kind of tranny it has in it. I'm thinking it's either a 350 or 400 turbo trans. Is there a number on the trans somewhere that i can use to see which one it is?

[95dime]

if its a 3spd its prob a 350 or 400, 700r is a 4spd

[ChevyRidinLowtn]

It's an automatic, so it's probably a 700r?

[95dime]

3 spd automatic or 4 spd? A 700r4 is a 4 speed automatic transmission and a 350/400 Turbo is a 3 speed automatic transmission.

Look at the shape of the pan. That's simple enough and it will tell you what it is.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see what I mean.

[Tryin2layadime]

if its a built 350 more then likely its a 350 turbo trans. maybe even a 400. only way i see it being a 700r4 is with a kick down on the carb but i have been wrong before.

[ChevyRidinLowtn]

Alright thanks guys.

[2low2tow93]

a TH350 has a cable kickdown that runs off the carb too steve if thats what you were sayin...but like chance said the best way to tell is the transpan

[ChevyRidinLowtn]

Yeah, It's a 350 trans. I can't decide whether to get a 2000 or 2400 stall. My truck is a 350 with a 280-290 cam, headers, I'm getting a Holley 650 double pumper carb for it, dual exhaust from the headers back. I'm gonna be driving this truck daily alot, so its not a drag truck. Any advice on whether to get a 2000 or 2400 stall?

*edit* it also has a shift kit.
