When I first put the '80 in, I had a Midwest converter. It took them about 2 weeks to build it, unlike the 2 '60 converters I bought from them which took like 2 days to build. I put maybe 1000 miles on it, and it worked great. Then the motor laid down and while it was out, I thought hey, Parish is doing really good with his Yank, maybe I should try one. So I called up and got their PY3400. I told Mike what I already had, and that I was tired of hearing all the tt3000 this, py3400 that-and I was ready to experience this awesome Yank feeling. I told him I was satisfied with the Midwest, but if he could pick up my performance a little that I would give it a shot. He assured me that I would be able to tell a noticeable difference. Well, guess what?? I noticed my wallet was considerably lighter!! The Yank drives and performs exactly like the Midwest, no better, no worse. The next time I take it apart I am putting the Midwest back in and going to sell the Yank and at least get some of my money back. The Midwest was like $750, Yank was $1000.

 

I went with a Yank TT3200HD, but haven't gotten it or the damn tranny installed yet.

 

L-Eater brings up a couple of good points.

I forgot to mention Hughes had the converter built and on my doorstep in a week. I was impressed to say the least.

Yank quoted me about 1000 for a converter like I would want. I got the Hughes for 725 shipped!
