Flexplate and torque converter

gasserx:
What to look for? What brand, and what combo?
Powerglide trans, SBC  i guess around 600-650hp based on what it have run before.

dreracecar:
Whatever you do make sure you go with the "Turbo input shaft and matching converter"
as far as the other stuff, find out who does the majority of work for the local racers, I could recomend my guy, but shipping puts a sting on the wallet.

Frontenginedragsters:
Very wide question but stick with an established company like ATI.
There is many more but ATI manufactures many parts and sells to other companies.
Much more info needs to be put out for a good guess.
I''m not the convertor expert here but 5000 stall is a very generic starting point.

I raced a door car for 25 years and all that converter experience went out the window with mynew FED--These dragsters need a very different converter than most drag cars--I bought a 6000 8 inch because I got it dirst cheap --just knew it would be too loose in my SBC 350 CI, 4.22 gear, 33 tall tire
Man I was wrong it is perfect!! Loose is good in a dragster

This might be a good question over in Dan Dishon's Transmission Den http://www.frontenginedragsters.org/forum/index.php?board=36.0
