Aftermarket Converters?

[Sinister87]

Was wondering what the converter of choice is for the 200R4? I know for the 700R4 and the 4L60E, that the YANK and Vigalante are popular choices, anyway trying to narrow it down and gain some knowledge.

I have a Pat's in mine. I like it alot. Pretty much stock rebuild with some basic mods. going with a 49 in the fall with a 22 row IC. So getting ready for that I did the 1003 XHD 10” 2004R W/Anti-balloon Plates on a fresh rebuilt trans. So far it seems real nice so far and I'm happy with it! Just remember to check your spacing. This one had to be shimmed a little. Let us know how you make out!

I also have the same Pats converter that Phillyturbosix(Jim) has and love it too. Really hooks and its very streetable. Highly recommended.

Just the bolts. Frank needed to shim his as well. I guess every car is a little different.
