Powerglide, this is a purpose built Drag Week car that runs mid 8's, has a full interior and stock location suspension, it is street legal but not a daily. You did a great job working within the original systems. Mine is all rewired and has no Ford electronics except for the power windows. I use Holley EFI as engine management and digital dash.
sctrance your car is the reason I bought an S197. I loved the article on your car. Seeing you made the move to turbo is awesome. I would love to see more details on your car.
I don’t have any pictures of it installed. I will take some later.
I’ve been having some transmission issues for awhile. Started off with high trans temps after a burnout. Then it wouldn’t shift into 2nd. A big burnout was the nail in the coffin. Pretty much just stopped moving all together.
First time rebuilding a automatic trans.
Purchased a Jakes Stage 2 rebuild kit.
Here’s the damage.
The forward clutches were very burnt and it got progressively worse from there. The direct and intermittent clutches didn’t have any material left.
