Thanks Frank.



I tried phoning the contact number and all I got was a recording that the phone was out of service.



Anyway I will keep trying.

thanks again

Marv, It's Chrisman Torque Converters,Inc. in the Denver area. There's a note on the web site that they're moving to "a nem location" and I got no answer to my last email. so I don't know what to tell you now

Frank:

Do you have any contact info for that company. I tried to Google it and came up dry.

There's an outfit in Denver, Torque Converters Inc, that can change the pilot to Y block style. Most FMX converters seem to be Small block types. Those can be changed out for roughly 100 bucks or so plus shipping. He's done two for me and they both fit.

Marv:

Coan Engineering in Kokomo, IN.  They are still in business, but they built my converter in '83.  They may not have any recollection or records of it.  It is a 10", 3500 stall.

jyj: the Street Rodder series article you don't have is Sept. 1999. You may find it at a swap meet. It references a company called JPT (transmissions, if still in business?) for the FMX info. That's in Eaton Rapids Michigan at 320 Hamman St. Ph.# 517-663-0578. Owner then was Jim Paquet. Hope this helps?

Thanks John for the info.



Do you recall the shop that did this conversion conversion?

Marv, the stall converter I use was built for me with Y block dimensions on the front half and FMX dimensions on the back.  Bolted right in.

A question for John:



I have done many conversions to the FMX using a cruise-o-matic convertor, however have no experience using an FMX convertor with the FMX transmission behind a yblock. I am doing a FMX transmission for a friend at the moment to install behind his 312. The cruiseomatic converters are getting so had to find anywhere and more so in Canada as the Y-block was not used in cars after 1958



We wish to use a FMX converter due to availability and available stall speed options. I was looking on the web and see there are 3 different converters for a small block, some have the extended snout and others cupped pilot and the pictures of them do not show the pilot side of the converter.



The extended snout 302 small block FMX converter I have pushes the converter to far away from the flex-plate as it has approx 1/2" longer pilot snout than an cruiseomatic converter



Do you recall what engine/car the converter you used was from when you did your conversion.

thanks
