If anyone is in a position to sell a used or new stall convertor, please pm me.

No, I don't want the one from your car that you love;)

Change of plans, project, extra or need cash - whatever reason.
Thanks.

Very reasonable price, thanks for sharing!
How hard have you abused it? How long?
About what rpm does it 'flash' to from a dead stop/idle before hitting the tires?
My experience with convertors is you get what you pay for in quality - but the stall speed is not always right on, even with high price units.

I've had it about a year or so. I've not really abused it, but I drive the car pretty aggressively. It's stall speed is right at 3000 rpm as advertised. Yes, it is a budget torque converter, but it hit the sweet spot in my wallet at the time. Can't complain at all. I'm sure some people will say it's crap. I've done the 1/4 in 13.908 with it installed. I could do better with it, but my car runs out of breath from 80-100, especially with 4.10's. The Eaton conversion I'm doing in the spring will fix that....

Great info, thanks! My wallet is not at $850 for a top brand convertor plus install labor right now, thus my 'wanted' ad.
13.99 @ 99mph is what I ran in a dead stock LT-1 Formula and it was a great street machine. Marauder going that quick will be TWICE the car!
Eaton swap = more torque = higher stall speed = harder on parts.
Wanna pull the convertor now and sell it? :eek: Just kidding - thanks again.:burnout:
