Looking for Vendors offering 6L80 Torque Converter 
There are two torque converter sizes, 258mm and 300mm. The 258mm applications use a twin-plate torque converter lockup clutch, while the 300mm applications use a single-plate torque converter lock-up clutch. Both types of clutches make use of GM’s proprietary electronic controlled capacity clutch (ECCC) technology, which uses a small, regulated amount of slip to dampen out engine pulses. This creates a smoother running drivetrain, especially during shift events.

We have been working on a few options for the 6L80. In both the 278-mm and the 258-mm. The vettes and trucks seem to use the 300-mm and some cadys use the 258-mm. What is it you are looking for??? HP Levels. What vehicle is it going in??
We have a few single and multi disk vettes we put the 258mm in. We are also trying out the 278mm in some trucks.
Can you post a picture of the factory converter, I can tell you what size it is from that.

First setup and maybe the last one anytime soon from vendor if fitment issuse make it to impractical and to costly to build second car with this tranny. Second frame is completed, waiting on me to trial fit body to see how much if any floorpan/tunnel mofication will be needed and if I want to try for Moniker "In the Poorhouse Now" by trying to do a second one.
