The converter I linked is a long way from stock. Lower stall, billet steel cover, bigger lock up clutch and better material, etc. I have seen it for sale as low as $300, and also seen it for sale on other trans parts websites that claim the super duper best of everything that want $900 for the exact same part.

I don't mind spending money for value. I do want to make sure I get the best parts I can for the money spent though.

I have messages in with Suncoast, Precision, and a couple others to get their two cents. Thanks to everyone for your input.
