Look Transmission Talk !? "thats new!"

Well... how is everybody ?
been lurking a lil' when I get time
glad to see most everyone is still building.

got a question:
Put a 250L in my 82 blazer a while back ,mated w/700r4 "been parked since ,just left the 6.2 converter in it".
Traded my mudder 78' blazer off and now I'm wanting to run around in the 83' and I need a to put the lock up Torque converter in it .

I'm getting told I need 2000 stall part #C48HD for $275.00 plus core $100.00 "because i ain'T got no core".

Any body have info/ideas/better solutions.
I'll have to buy the lock-up switch also. "got links of places you'd recommend ?"

It's an 1982 or 83 full size 308 highway gears / stock 250 w1bl /new 700r4 / run'n 33 12.50s may go to 35s
" I know... not as much fun as the old one but it's still a med size convertible redneck rig." I know it'll be cheaper to tool around in , no mud'N tho.

if that's what it's going to cost I'll pay it but I've learned thru my yearrrs of wisdom on this board to ask when in dought.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
