3k Stall

One thing to live buy with converters is you get what you pay for.. You need a converter with lock-up for one and a anti-ballonning plate for future mods and just to handle a good amount of power, but you also want that converter to have a tight clearance internally so you don't have all the extra room inside to cause more heat, but with any converter it's always a good idea to use a inline trany cooler to help..

Look at converters from Fuddle, Circle D, Vigalante and Yank

That is 27 spline so outright wrong to start with.

After that it fails to mention 12" or 9.5" and I saw no mention of lockup, critical details for anyone buying or selling converters.

I would go with Edge, Yank, or Vigilante. I personally use Edge and due to changing combos and priorities am on my third stall, Andre has always done good by me and the price is good.

Don't mess with e-bay for car parts. You can get away with finding some styling accesories but almost all car parts off of e-bay are junk. I use a Yank stall which was recommended by Lloyd Elliot and most members on here when I was doing my build. But vigilante is a good one and so is edge like dwayne said. Stay away from TCI and e-bay junk.

B&M has had a bad history on torque converters for many years now. Stay away from B&M when it comes to anything in torque converers. TCI is not a lot better when it comes 700R4's and 4L60E's. PI's Vigilante and Yanks TC's are very good, and Edge and Pro Torque are another.
