Fuddle stall

There is a Fuddle 3200 stall that i'm looking at buying. It is used, but only has 1500 miles on it. Question is will it work in my car? It came out of a 1993 z28. Also, within the next year or two i'll be swapping in a 12 bolt and a 4L80E, can i use a converter that was meant for a 4L60E or even a 700R4? Thanks.

No, 1998 and up LS1 4L60E's use different converters due to the input shaft of the trans, and several other things.

A 4L80E needs a converter made for a 4L80E, if I understand that correctly.

And no one should be using a fuddle converter for anything anyway.

No way I'd put a Fuddle in my transmission to grenade. Go with a Circle D converter.

It's funny, but this subject came up once before and a few people with still functioning fuddle converters got in and started defending them. Then right in the middle of the thread one of them came back and said his converter took a **** right after he was sticking up for fuddle, like two days later.

I wouldn't put anything Fuddle near my car after reading on here the horror stories he has created. Anyway my friend is running a 3600 and it has kept up good the last 5k miles.
