Ok so i found a 700r4 for sale in my area for sale wich was out of a 91 camaro. Upgraded bigger Clutch packs, bigger servos, 13 vane pump and a new Corvette Stall convertor and a mild shift kit. Hes askin 750. Too much or sound bout right?

 

Go take a look at it - while standing there, wave 6 brand new $100 bills in his face - never hurts to barter, but bartering without cash in plain sight is useless.

Brand new Pro Built Automatic ... $1400+

Used take-out tranny .... $300 with 90 warranty

So $750 sounds good if it's a good tranny (which you'll never know until it's in the car).

 

The guy said it was in his v8 S10 for about 200 miles than took it out to swap in a 5 speed

 

Receipts? Will he give you a reasonable warranty (1 week to install and test it)?

Make sure you are getting your money's worth and yes, that would be a fair price considering brand new converter.

A stock high stall converter can be nice to drive. I'd make sure I was getting either a new GM converter with a known part number that was a good one or some pedigree of it. A cheap reman with low stall can make the car suck to drive even with good gears like 3.73.

 

What would the Stall be on a new corvette stall convertor?

 

The term "corvette" means absolutely NOTHING - everyone and his brother that is selling any SBC related puts "corvette" in the title ... so there's no telling at all unless you can get a receipt or a number off the converter that googles to something.

But - ANY converter has to stall higher than a factory 3rd gen converter by default Our factory converter stalls at about 1200 rpms. Even if it's the original converter from the original V6 that was in the S-10, behind the V8 it should still stall at about 2200 rpms.

 

There are a few "good" converters like the 4.3 S10 high-stall that (if I ran a 700-R4) I would buy based on the part number if I could verify it as a good GM higher-stall converter.

Stall speed / ratio is another discussion.
