There is not much clearance in there for the turbine wheel. I personally wouldn't take the chance unless it is going in a trans you don't have alot into. There is not one dent but two. Call up a converter company and see if you can get it loosened up. They will fix those while its there and also give you the estamated stall. You want 3500 for a good performing car. This will usually end up being a 2800 to 3000 behind a small block.Perfect for a mild motor. Actually same as stock performance converter.
