If you go to the Dacco website and look under performance converters, they've got one cut apart. You can see that the pump and turbine have been both furnace brazed, and both ends of the vanes tig welded. From the photos you can also see how the vanes are staked in, and how thin they really are. Now, picture that converter without furnace brazing and tig welding and ask yourself "could it really withstand 500HP in a factory configuration. Another thing you must understand is other than the mounting, some internal parts, and the hub, your Chrysler converter may/will have parts from another vehicle maker.
