You might have tried this but what are your 'hot' engine temps? Make sure you have an 80c thermostat. Lots of times they get replaced with cooler temp thermostats that don't get the engine hot enough...

Cool - good idea.
If I do end up pulling the engine for other reasons is swapping in a donor torque converter fairly straightforward?
