$517 for a converter refresh?

Who did it?

Specific tech I don't want to say. He was dodgy about answering questions and made sure I knew that they were doing me a huge favor and "eating it" on the costs. Looks like a last minute Friday job I can tell you that.

Pete usually answered the phone and was always cool and professional, kudos to that guy.

Sorry to hear it. They should have sent you a new converter as soon as the welder blew through the case.

That kind of money would be a project breaker for me.

I appreciate it. It's a speed bump alright.

Every converter manufacturer I've talked to (at least 8) has said they can't or won't make this converter configuration either. Gunna call a couple more places Monday. Later 904 on an early 273 sure causes some headaches. Only FTI has said no problem, but I'm wondering if they missed that 273 hub part.

This is a minor setback. If I have to yank the crankshaft out to enlarge the pocket that's just what I have to accept.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I hope you're all having a great weekend.
