Kelly,
Another way of looking at it is you do not have to try multiple converters to get it dialed in!! All that's needed is a turn of base and adjustment of counterweight! With the right bellhousing that's a piece of cake on those adjustments. You will be much happier with the good bellhousing as figment and alignment will be spot on.

On my 83 the only original sheetmetal left is the hood, I guess that's why the fox bodies are so light they are made of recycled metal!

Once you get it going the investment in the stick parts will last a long time, that trans behind your engine will be bullet proof too. Even better will be the fun factor of rowing gears.
