Send Chris at Circle D a message and tell him what you have. Chris is the man and their converters are well worth the$$$$$. They are cheeper than a Yank but built better IMHO.. Circle D is a sight sponsor on the right hand sight banner..

Stay away from the B&M at any price. There are much better TC's out there. Do your homework and do not let the price effect the choice unless, both torque converter companies you are looking at have great history.
