Get an aftermarket torque converter. I have one bigger than one is in my sig now. There is a night and day difference between a stock stalled trans and an aftermarket converter in it. If you were considering. Plus it would be much cheaper for you to go this route.

So your needing all the other parts to make it work too? HMmmm. I'm contemplating swapping over to auto, and I'll need all the other stuff for auto. ie, pedals, console, crossmember and such. If I pull the trigger, I'll contact you to see if you need some parts and see if you have some parts I need.

As far as trans., mine would need a rebuild.

Goodluck Tim, if you need any help finding some parts, just give me a ring. If I have any left over parts I will donate them to ya. Dont forget I still have that tranny and stall if you do decide to do that.
