I know you're on the other side of the world, so not sure if there is someone local there who can do that for you. I've seen much better looking converters turn out to be junk. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

Then again - anybody that will cut it open for you will probably know what it's characteristics are by looking inside. But then again, I'm kinda stingy with my labor when it comes to R&R on transmissions. Even the fluid is too pricy for me to gamble with. LOL Good luck!

These were also known as the 069J and 089J converters. 30 plus years ago they were the choice of most converter companies and a must have in the earlier Hemi and Wedge cars.

rebel OP master Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,647 aotearoa	so Lenny, do you think the insides are of a resonable quality that it's worth doing a cut & reco of it? my research has found it was running in a 9 sec altered back in the early 80's until it was wrecked. it was used for 2 years only so it had limited use. i'm just wanting it for a 10 sec streetcar that will see more friday night racing than street time.
