The pump and converter will be new. Converter will use a slightly higher stall speed, ~1800-2000rpm like the tarbo Regals. Stock pumps are some-what flawed by design (tenancy to blow out seals), and for something that's not easy to pull out and replace it's worth putting in high quality parts instead of junk yard or standard remans. The tranny is being over built for the current motor. The converter and trans will be safe for around 450-500 ft/lb of torque, more than I'll need to worry about in the immediate future.

Most importantly though, is datoverdrive.
