Just a thought....You may want to research Edge converters also........they build them custom for your exact combo (unlike many places) and are great to deal with....IMO, parts quality is right up there with Vigilante.

Re: Fuddle Or Vigilante

I can't really comment on Fuddle but I am another happy Edge customer, the extra cost in a Vig is in the billet cover which while stronger is not something that breaks on something like a Edge or Fuddle which is not billet. Think of it like putting a bowtie block under stock heads and cam, yes it is stonger but that strength goes COMPLETELY unused. I have also read some indications that Vig is less custom than Edge and Yank and I know they cost a fortune to have a cut and clean done should you hurt the tranny.

I have run a few vigilantes and they all worked awesome both for 4l60e's and Th350/400's. Later Clint

Dwayne, I think the extra strength in the billet converter cover helps by preventing it from balooning and pressing against the crankshaft thrust bearing.
