Alright, Ive got an issue and already got my tissue.

85 Supra is done for the season after the torque converter blew. Its a PCM 351 and I am stuck because I cannot find a replacement. Anyone know where I can find one?

LOL, I thought the same thing as alot of you when I saw torque converter.

Graham, any of those parts should be easy finds. Most of the ski boat manufactures used the same parts suppliers back then. You may try a marine salvage if you have one in the area, in a pinch and can't find anything(which I find hard to believe). I wouldn't suggest it for a long term fix, I also buy the best I can get when it comes to the boat. You can't walk home from the water.

I can think of a couple here in NorCal(Lodi and Rancho Cordova). They might ship up to you if they have something, ehh.
