MS3 on stock converter

Very long story, but basically, I'm getting a ms3 installed soon and have to drive it around for like a week or 2 untill i can get my torque converter installed. I'm wondering if it is going to be possible since i read soo many times "get the stall first"(dont flame me please,,long story)..Thanks in advance..

It will prolly want to push through the brakes. I say park it for the 2 weeks.

I would also say park it. Just wait the two weeks and do them both together.

i planned on parking mine too (on stock converter) but then i moved it and realized it drove just fine, and the g6x3 is no small cam.... point is just try it and see what you think... mine does almost push but if i push the brakes pretty good it stays still

It will be do-able, but based on what I've read, it's just not recommended and might be a pain, like kons02z28 is saying.

Always remember that anything that can go wrong probably will. I learned the hard way with my 1st H/C combo and couldn't wait for the stall eons ago. 2 weeks is not going to kill you not to drive it.

Good Luck

It's doable, but it will certainly be a handful! Be careful, and I agree that you should give yourself plenty of stopping distance. It will really make you appreciate the stall once it's in.
