What is the going price for a 3500 and a 4500 stall convertor (new)?

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Mon Feb 02, 09 10:09 am

Probably about £450ish for a decent one new.........

Both brand new TCI.

One is a 727 Super StreetFighter, the other is a 727 Ultimate StreetFighter.

This now going to get complicated... selling stuff here, and buying stuff in the States and Canada, and having it all stored in Florida!

Thought you were now flogging that van, why worry about a 'vertor

It's for the new build Pete... Look above... Now the flag has turned green, I can spend the money I have in my US account. Having an old pal with his own shop in Florida, means trade prices on everything.... Plus fantastic deals and first dibs on parts that are not needed or wanted by his customers.

He also has another parts company, and he buys in bulk.... That equals big bucks savings! Woo Hoo!

And he needs an agent in Canada... We have been discussing this now for 18 months.

Jeff, why not go the whole hog and get a Dynamic convertor. Never read anything other than praise for their product. Not cheap, mind but probably worth it for a serious build.

Cos these ones came up a a buddies shop. For stupid money. He has a big bulk buying parts company. Sometimes people buy stuff and change their minds before they use the parts. I get 1st dibs on any Mopar, or universal parts. Last time I was visiting him, there was stuff all over the place.

Can't knock it, can you

No.. its funny, whenever I go there, I keep telling him I will tidy up for him!
He had loads of ss disc conversion kits last time I was there. He put the whole thing together so that you did NOT need any other par from anywhere else. And Prochargers all over the shop!

TCI seem to have a bad rep for converters. No doubt there are plenty who have no issues, it's just every time this topic comes up they get a bashing IIRC.......

OH!

Only paid £147 for the pair!

TCS in my car. http://www.tcsproducts.com/ One of the salesman has one of the last ever Challengers made.

Oh and the GM racecar you see on their website there is fitted with a Torqueflite.

TCI are probably OK for the street.
I found it wanting for reasonably serious strip use and sold it.....
