    Probably $250 to $350 dollars, but they do quality work and i've had very good luck with Coan over other Converter companies.

            Coan makes a good converter (i hope)

            However if/when i have problems with mine, Mike Ridings will be operating on it he does some seriously good work on converters among other trans parts

              he can redo the converters too?

              I am not real familiar with all of this part, first converter I have had to do this with, I was told by SSSC members in GR to send it to coan, but damn thats almost the cost of a new converter isn't it?

              250-350?

              I saw some coans for 600 plus but others like I am needing in my stahl area were in the 400 range..

                        my coan convert was ordered to specs 10" was $877

                        my reverse pattern valve body and a few other odds 'n' ends was another $770

                        a few hundred bucks for a restall doesn't come close to the price of a new one

                            I'll Pm The

                            Gentelmen that asked about pricing. The difference in price of the 2 converters is probably due to the addition of front and rear balloon plates. Judging by those numbers, i'm not charging enough, but i don't have their overhead or big name (yet) either.

                            A restall (from me) usually goes for 125. That includes: Cut, Wash, New Bearings and Spring/roller package, along with the stall change. If there are any damged parts like turbine fins,pump fins,pump hub,turbine hub, or stator, those parts are extra$$$.

                            Mike.

                              Ya know it not all converters and transmissions, It's good looks too!!!

                              <<< Well that's a big lie (the good looks part) ,, But i do converters as well as transmissions on site.
