I have a 89 conquest that i am doing a 4g63 swap. I am taking it from my 1990 awd talon. I have been running mid 12 very consistently but I am tired of breaking 2nd gear in my talon. I only drag race so the automatic is perfic for me. I already have a built th-350. My question is about Buschur's kit. who has used it. I have email the other guy on this site that is making an adaptor kit but he hasn't emailed me back. Also is buschur's torque a custom piece or is it just a regular gm torque converter. I have price billet 9" gm torque converters and they cost about the same price as his converter. It would be great if you could just buy an adaptor plate and modified flywheel and use gm torque converters. You can buy very nice gm torque converter with many different stalls for well under $500 but they aren't billet. I would really like so information. Please help.

his convertor is a custom. i have the kit. i havent run it yet as the car is not together. i have mocked everything up and i will say that it is set up perfectly. well worth the money in my opinion. i broke a few awd trannys as well. thus the decision to go rwd :D

Have you compared buschur's converter to a regular gm converter. If you can will you take a pic of the two side by side with the bolt hole sides up.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
