I was just informed today that my NSHP fan harness is complete... Should work much better than what I built LOL
Well you said you needed one, you may have to expand your search to get one hard head.

I think I paid 700 to my door for a 4wd one, with dust plate, converter, flexplate and spacer, with 50K on it.

LOL, I've got some leads... Just didn't know if anyone knew of anything off hand. There's a couple in LA that I know of for a reasonable deal.

Buy it complete and sell off the stuff you dont need to recoup some cost. I sold the 80e flexplate for $50, so I'm now 600 bones deep in the 80e. Still trying to sell the 80e TC.

I was actually considering starting with a stock converter and seeing where its deficiencies are, and going from there with as much info as possible towards getting an aftermarket converter.... I just know I'm going to hate the loss of throttle response from that heavy *** thing if I decide to go that route.

this is threee inch pipe, but some reference.
I agree....

This is five inch for reference.





I couldnt get the 4 inch to fit through the hoop....
