Torque Converter Swap Photos!

Awhile back someone posted some nice photos of the converter swap they did. It looked like it was done in a driveway and the whole axle assembly, transaxle, and torque tunnel were removed in one piece. I printed the photos out, but I've since lost them. Are they still available? Did someone happen to bookmark them? Thanks! :)

Thanks, Max. I did see that article and photos, but that's not the one I'm looking for. These were color shots of the disassembly, all taken out in one piece. There were four to six pics total.

I would like to see that also, as my 3200 stall Vigilante will be here in the next few weeks and my son and I are going to do the install.

Re: Torque Converter Swap Photos! (XTrooper)

Hmm.....I don't really remember, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't red. The car was on a lift in the garage, the axle assembly, transaxle, and torque tunnel were pulled out in one piece making it look like a cross and it was laid out on some wood if I remember correctly and was in the driveway. I think the car was light-colored, it could have been white, but my memory sucks so I could be completely wrong about the color.

Well, this was awhile ago. Maybe a two or three months. I could have been magnetic red I suppose. Unless it were striped like a zebra, I probably wouldn't remember it correctly. :D

Thanks for the offer, Neill! I'd appreciate seeing your photos as well. :cheers:
