I built a budget 10 sec. 440 off of ebay parts. That was back when there was actually good deals on ebay. Some of the parts were comp solid cam and lifters 100.00, intake 125.00, ss valves 80.00, trw pistons 200.00and more I cant remember. also used dymanic 3800 converter 300.00 still works great after 15 yrs. Just have to wait for deals.

I guess I'm not the only one to risk using a used converter! Worked out well for me too. I found a good used FTI 3400-3600 9.5" converter for my car. Took sellers word for it that it was from a parted out car. This converter does a world a difference from a brand new converter from Dacco which was a 10" 2800 stall or so. No comparison the FTI blows it away!:steering:
