I've been looking at Rossler myself. His prices seem to be decent for what you get and many people have reccomended him to me.

rossler all the way

Contact Tony Aikens at TCI they are a sponsor here .Just picked up my Powerglide and he was very helpful and supplied exactly what I needed.

Rossler Here........
Give Carl a call and talk to him Phil.....
The Trans is only half the equation though man..... the converter is the other.....
On that note my Neal Chance converter is working flawless....
and man there fast LOl :jest:

hughes, and give ultimate converter a call.

I chose a TCI Glide and Chance converter. I'll see how good it works in a month.

I personally would go with Coan. I know lots of guys that run them behind big inch BBC's and Mopars with no issues.

As for converter, I would recomend talking to Craig at Coan Transmissions.

I used a Neal Chance converter previously and the lockup clutch came apart in no time at all. Most people have great luck with them, not me. I wouldnt use one in anything ever again.

It was in my '95 Trans Am.... heads/cam/nitrous car. It had maybe 250-300 street miles on it.

It was the first one that he had ever heard of that came apart :jest: . He didn't even want to give me another one to try. He just refunded my money and I switched the converter to a custom Coan setup. All issues were gone, and works like a champ.

My race car is getting a custom 8" Coan converter. Ordering it this weekend at the World Drag Expo in Chicago.

I dont have any idea. They wouldn't even tell me what the ACTUAL problem with it was. They just said you are getting a refund and thats it. Oh well I guess.

i dont think u will have a problem finding a good powerglide guys have been building them for years,

Lots of Automatic Pro Mod guys down here use Abruzzi.

Coan, I know they have models for your level.

A bunch of us around here use them, high 6's, lo 7's.

I usually talk to Jason, when he's not racing.

Abruzzi makes great transmissions.
Hutch does an awesome job as well.
Rossler great trans.

Can't go wrong with any of these guys

i talked to a coan worker at the world drag expo... they know there shit no doubt and havnt heard of anything going bad with them at all ever.

Coan gets my vote, but i dont have one so take that into consideration.

Coan Racing makes by far the best converters and Trans'
in my 6 second pro-mod we have a Dedenbear aluminum Powerglide, filled with all Coans internals the 1.80 straight cut the band/drum everything, the Coan pro brake..
We used to run a 10" coan converter, now we are switching to their super mega 2 piece converter because Craig finally talked me and my dad into it!
Talk to Craig at Coan and youll be more than happy!

what kind of mileage are you guys getting running a glide on the street?

even better now with the 3.54's...... havent checked yet though:jest:

ok i was just wondering, Ive got a Trex with 4.10 gears now through a 4l60e with a 4600 stall, just wondering how much it would drop, thanks
