Problems finding a convertor
« on: March 10, 2016 - 10:12:22 PM »
So my customer's engine builder is suggesting a certain torque converter to run behind his stroked 400 motor.

He wants me to buy a TURBO ACTION #17501A but it seems that nobody has them in stock ?

Does anybody know what happened to these ? Are they still available ?

Did Turbo Action change them to something else ?

I'll have to call them, because I searched their web site earlier and it didn't come up, but when I do a Google search I get the same page you posted :clueless:
