I just got a new converter installed today. I drove the car to Chicago to Speed Inc from Des Moines, Ia for the converter swap, the converter was taken out in perfect working order. It is a Midwest 3500, it is pretty tight, not sure on STR, but from the other converters I've driven, it is probably around a 2.5 STR, on the upshifts in my car the RPMS dropped to 5,000.

It was in my car when I bought, so I don't have all the info on it.

The fluid was clean, trans has never been overheated.
My car ran 11.70 with a 1.68 60' on 17" ET Radials with this converter, I have a video I'll post of a little street driving with it. It is WAY daily driver friendly & drove great with both a 224/224 cam & the current 231/237 on 112 LSAs.

Let me know if you have any questions.

$350 shipped.

Thanks!

Here is a little video of driving it...

Bump for the daytime crowd.

 

To anyone that is interested..

I installed this converter, I used to own Unstang's SS (I was the second owner, the car was bone stock when I got it).

The converter was purchased new by me and was installed along with a TransGo shift kit, deep pan with filter kit, and a B&M 19k cooler. The trans rarely went over 200° and I never had any isses with its performance...it usually ran right around 170-180.

If I remember correctly, the STR is 2.0. I personally hit a 1.69 60' with 17" Nitto DRs and a stock suspension. The car weighed 3640 with me in it. It was a great driving car and that's a nice performing converter.

Unstang is a stand up guy, no worries. Check my feedback too. Good luck with the sale!

i may be interested, why the change? Also, is it a lockup?

pm also

 

PM sent...

It is a lock up converter.

 

Any idea where this converter flashes?

 

I honestly never paid attention when I was at the track.

 

how many miles on stall? What does lock up mean?

 

when you start moving really really fast, it locks up the space time continuum, lol, naw, at cruising speed it locks up for better fuel economy, like the stock converter

 

Not sure on the exact mileage on the converter. It was bought new by the prev owner of my car, it is not a daily driver.

I'd move a little on the price.

 

Bump for Thursday.

It is a great converter.

 

Sunday BUMP.

 

Still have it pm me if you do thanks

 

St. Patty's Day bump!!!!

I'd take a little less, like to see it gone.

 

hmmm... might be interested. will let you know tomorrow after we get the trans apart and see if it's the pump or converter that toasted (or both).

Up to the top for Friday..
