Fuddle 3600? Anyone know anything about these converters? I've got one I've never used it though would it be okay to use till I can afford a better one ? The motors already out so it'd be an easy upgrade over the stock converter.

I ran a Fuddle 3600 in my old Ls Fbody for years (actually still have it). Never had any problems. Doing a search may lead you in the wrong direction, don't let his past business practices take away from the fact that in his day he built a damn good converter.

There were a couple of versions. I have the "HP/Street"
for its beefier lockup clutch, and it's served me well. I
have no useful opinion on the base model nor the one
that was supposed to be more for racing.
I also had my build bent toward efficiency with low STR,
you could order what you wanted from them - which
means that aside from it being 3600 nominal stall speed
you may not know much about other attributes - like
efficiency and the profile of torque multiplication vs RPM
and input torque.
As long as you know it's clean (not pulled from a failed
trans, maybe holding trash) I'd go for it, see if you like
it enough to keep.
