A friend had purchased it new, and put 15 to 20 partial throttle passes on it before his engine expired due to an oiling system problem. I called the TCI tech line, and was told the following approximate stall speeds: Strong 383 - 4300 to 4500 RPM Strong 440 - 4500 to 4800 RPM All out "B1" Motor - 4900 to 5200 RPM The current version of this torque converter is the 143502, and has a list price of over $1400... Is this the same as the one you have?
