i’ve been looking around for a new torque converter and found a guy that supposedly takes trailblazer torque converters, rebuilds them with new bearings, braized fins, new tcc clutch, and says they’ll bolt right into an LS1 and stall around 2800-3200 depending on the car. i’m looking for something around 3000 for now, but plan on upgrading when i do a cam/headers/whatever else, so this seems like it would be a good way to go since it’s cheaper. think this is a good idea? or even would a stock tc from a trailblazer hold up since i know where i can get one right now for even cheaper. just looking for a cheap way to get a higher stall until the bigger mods come. i can’t see dumping huge cash for a tc that i’m going to want to change in a year anyways.
its been done over and over again. us truck guys do it and if a guy tells you hes rebuilding it and al that bullshit hes lying. brian has one forsale for 200 bucks with only 550 miles on it. behind a 6.0 it stalled to 2900rpms
ahh, cool deal. i’ll check on the one i know of first thing in the morning, and see what i can get it for. i know it was pretty cheap, but if it’s higher, i might just make a trip back down to mt. pleasant
:boink
does it matter if it comes from 4 or 2 wheel drive? not sure if they’d be different or not
no need to wonder just buy the one off brian
the one that only had 550 miles on it and stalled to 2900 bolted to a 6.0…i’m guessing that it has some track time on it already? i can get a new one from gm for 257.25 with my discount. if it doesn’t have a bunch of passes on it, i’ll consider it for sure.
no track passes on it at all, actually more highway miles then anything
