Why? What is special about it? I imagine the 85-92 would work.

Re: What year s10 tq converter am i looking 4

Well, I installed one in my 1992 green b4c when i had it and man did it come alive, the "S10's" have a higher stall like 2200 or so behind are v8 they stall 1800 or so behind a 4.3 v6 so it a great way to get a few tenth out of the car with out spending alot of money on a tq converter, and yes they hold up as i was running high 11.7 with the last one about 2 years before i sold the car, with no problems. I just can't rember what year it was and i tryed looking it up.. but so Many Post....and no luck..so if you can help thanks a million. Jeff

Well, he is saying that it might be the same as the L98 powered vettes might be using. He said the stall to 2000 or so. But he is not 100%.

Re: What year s10 tq converter am i looking 4

I just looked on Ebay and found the converters stalling speed of 24-28 for about 140$ give or take shipped, with a warranty. You might as well go that route. I am.

Re: What year s10 tq converter am i looking 4

Yea, a used one that might have trash in it, no real waranty and could be damaged from a wreck, not to mention, it could have been swapped from a car like you already had and you would never know.

I guess it depends on the yard. I know the owner pretty good as I use to do chrome & powder coating work for a few other companies he ones too.


I see your point in not knowing how the last owner treated the truck it came out of. I haved prices any decent convertes for years. My last good one was a P.I Vigilante and cost a ton.

if a ebay S10 converter cost $140 + shipping. whats a B&M or something cost from summit?

As in it feels great because it is in, or it feels good to have it?
