Thanks for the props guys -

Just an FYI - we have been here since 1976. But the 278mm mentioned is not quite that old.

Good to know chris, looking to beef up the ol tb stall which i heard the 278mm is a reworked one anyways, but i see lots of people running them, and can get my hands on one from a friend who recommends you highly.

We see converters come back from the mid 1990's with 150k plus on them and just need a normal rebuild.
but that is if the transmission did not fail and damage the converteri nternals.
