Try using a small pointy screw driver or awl to back it out, sometimes they spin right out. If it doesn't, weld a nut on it.

Hopefully this is the worst I ever come across and that exact converter lol

I will give that a try, I used thread locker tho so thinking welding will be the only way to get it out.

Side note, anybody have the part number for the bolts I'll need on the rear cover?

It was great dd the truck, did you go with the 1A or 2A. I was actually gonna get it again but might be able to get a billet yank for about the same price off a guy so we'll see.

2A. Its not going to hold the power I'm trying to push through it but I didn't have the funds to get the pro series. I got the 278 2A with the upgraded billet cover. It will be here today now so can't wait to go home and check it out.

Same here, it was never intended to be my main piece but it didn't even see much. Man, I'm so low on funds just getting this **** back up and running is gonna put everything else on hold.

Got a complete rebuild, hardened input and a **** kit on the trans so should be more than good there.

Did you do the rebuild yourself? What clutches did you use?

Gonna take it my trans guy as soon as he gets some free time so he can install it, I installed it myself the first time and it was not fun lol so expecting to have it running again within 2 weeks.
