Default Torque converter identification
I am trying to figure out what torque converter is in the car. I found these markings on the converter.


Do these mean anything? Or, are they just part numbers for the metal piece? I know it's not the stock torque converter.

Side question. If I were to switch from the TH350 that's in it to a 700-R4 overdrive, could I use this torque converter or would I need to buy a new one?

I don't believe that the THM-350 and THM-700-R4 converters are interchangable. No idea on those numbers....sorry.

No worries. I figured this was the case, but wanted to ask just in case.
