Why do you need a converter? If you stock one is going out, get a stock replacement. A 80K trans is way more likely to break than a fresh rebuild. So, do you know what happens when you buy say a $1000 converter and mate it to an old trans? Pretty much like an 18 yo boy with an 80 yo woman or vice versa. It won't be pretty. When your trans breaks, you have to clean out the expensive TC. That means it has to be cut apart, cleaned up, welded back again and balanced. That translates to $$. Wait till your trans gives then buy a good TC.

From what I have heard, a highly efficient TC will stress out the trans.

So, if you plan a high dollar rebuild within 2 years, get the Precision Industries TC. They offer a free "restall" within 2 years. That means you can have them cut the thing apart and clean it for free.
