Street Bandit Series FMX FE Torque Converter

The Boss Hog 21294 Street Bandit Series torque converter is engineered for Ford FMX FE engines, offering a significant performance upgrade. It stands out as one of the lightest converters available, potentially shedding over 20 lbs to directly translate into horsepower gains by minimizing rotational mass. Built in the USA since 1970, this converter is designed for performance and racing. Key construction features include a hardened Chrome Moley Impeller Hub, Torrington Style Incased Bearings, and a Modified Extreme Duty Stator. The 9.6-inch core converter is precision CNC machined with a 29-spline turbine hub and a 1.848-inch crank pilot. Its fins are secured with 4-corner tack welding or furnace brazing for durability. The unit is leak, pressure, and digitally balanced, undergoing quality inspections at every stage. It is intended for use with choppy cams and lightweight vehicles, and the manufacturer recommends Type F transmission fluid. For optimal performance and longevity, it is advised to always use an additional transmission cooler and apply Blue Loctite to fasteners. The advertised stall ranges are based on specific vehicle setups and may vary. While this converter is suitable for street use with good driving characteristics, Boss Hog recommends their "Out Law Racing Series" torque converter for vehicles utilizing power adders such as nitrous, turbochargers, superchargers, or a trans brake.
