low price converters?

I have a deal of picking up a 700r4 for my gta for 100 dollars. it doesn't have a converter. I am trying to find a decent price for one, but it seems like all the ones I find that specify that they are lock up converters are insanely expensive.
any suggestions, sources, or parts numbers?
thanks guys :]

Re: low price converters?

or is it automatically a lock up if it fits the 700r4?

What exactly is insanely expensive to you? I went down to my local AutoZone and got exactly what I needed (torque converter) for not much over 100 bucks. Not sure what the exact price was but I know it was easily under 200... Hope that helps

thanks beaner :] I don't know what it was that I was looking at, but I was seeing them for around 350.

I know what you mean. When I found out that I was going to have to replace my converter I was not very happy because all of them that I had found were at least 350, if not more. But luckily I decided to ask them at AutoZone and they ended up having it for a lot less... hope you find what you need

Re: low price converters?

use a stock convertor out of a vortec s10 blazer.....it a cheap way to stall your car up....about 2000-2500rpm....I use one in my car...just an idea....you can get them under $100 new.
