In particular, these converters do have problems. When they cut the 6.0 converter to put a 7.3 cover on it, enough material was lost to make very accurate re-balancing impossible. The 7.3 cover is not an exact match to the 6.0 internal components either. Ask Tymar if the place jig-rigging these converters together has balancing equipment and what type. This is why you should only buy transmission related components and accessories from people who build transmissions and other powertrain components as their full time profession. We build both custom transmissions and torque converters. They are a full time profession, that's why there are nationwide stock transmission franchise's like Aamco that only work on one thing--[B]stock transmissions.[/B] The 6.0 converter above will only hold around 400 horsepower behind a 7.3 [B][I]if [/I][/B]balance is not far out of spec. You could have bought our Eagle X6TC converter for only about $100 more. It's an all new full billet, triple disk converter (not a ford re-man like the 6.0 to 7.3 conversion converter is made of.) [B]We can customize the Eagle to 6.0 specs for the same price by request and they will hold 600 to 900 horsepower! A minimum of 200 more horsepower without vibrations than the best 6.0 converter with a 7.3 face on it can take for about $100 more.[/B] Now you know why I refer to the 6.0 to 7.3 converted converters as jig-rigged together compared to ours. LOL :D :) If you only knew the giant difference in quality between them, you'd be crazy not to get ours instead for $100 more. A re-manned tranny and converter means you get used parts same as a junk yard has but they are cleaned up.... :doh: Even used clutches are put back in a re-man.... :doh: :jawdrop: Next in quality is a stock rebuild. [B][COLOR="Red"]Then there are full custom builds for performance. [/COLOR][/B] [B]There is a world of differences between each.[/B] , [/QUOTE]
