$3-4k? IPT sells high stall TC for $490..valve body work for under $700.. $3-4k you might be talking about getting an entire tranny done.

what about install set up for the torque converter and other labor costs. personally i don't have the time to do all that work myself plus im not too experienced with building transmissions.

so the labor itself would be an arm or a leg.

labor and cost will not make it $3-4k, that means you'd be paying more for labor than the parts itself..my bro's torque converter install was less than $300 if i remember right..entire tranny install was less than $600. nobody in their right mind would pay the kind of labor costs your thinking of that would round up the total to $3-4k, esp. for just a torque converter and valve body

**EDIT** i asked him to confirm, costed $300 to install the TC and then later on he decided to build the entire tranny and that costed $300 to install as well.
