Final testing in the works

Tony

 

few more

 

sweet now I have an option other than the lame ass slim jim

 

OK you baited us!!! Approx price? Looks like still uses stock starter. When will it be available? Thanx, Dave

 

nice job so far.

 

I really like the flex plate having, "MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" embosed on it. Does the bellhousing also have that proclamation? Way to go!!! Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

YES it does
Tony

 

Yes it will use a stock starter,new 176 tooth ring gears are used
Or you have the option of my high torque mini starter witih same gear

Price should be finalized in next few days
I have some done that are spoken for and Im trying to get a feel for how big my next batch should be

Tony

 

WOW! That's cool, and I know it's been long overdue. I haven't had a lot of Oldsmobiles, and THIS cures a major reason for it. Anyway, my questions in case I see an Olds I like

1-when?
2-how much?
3-what else is needed besides what you'll offer to complete?
4-Have you measured or installed in a 50's to early 60's car to see if the adapter puts the trans far back enough to cause interferance with the floor pans/driveshaft tunnel?(would TH350 be better, or do-able if desired?)

 

Tony, Looks great !! Are you looking for a hot rod to test it on in Pa. ? Seriously, hope I can afford one.

 

Hi Crazy,
Left your email at work or I would have sent personal pics
Give me a call,
Tony

 

Tony, WOW it looks great please put me on the list let me know how much $ and when.

 

Are you going to try to do one for the GM AOD series in the future?
The Wizzard

 

Are you going to do an exchange on the Gear case or sell only complete trans?
The Wizzard

Tony

 

I am going to do my pricing both ways

Thanks,Tony

I must be typing with invisible ink

 

,

Sorry Groucho I thought I answered most of the ? in other posts
as far as trans tunnel I cant answer that yet as its only been run on a trans dyno behind the Olds
Options and pricing to follow

Thanks,Tony

 

And yes a 350turbo is also an option

Tony

 

Will the adapter bolt to a TH350? (answered)I prefer them for many reasons. The adapter looks like it bolts to the front pump(?) bolts, and I don't know if 400's and 350's are the same. Does the front pump face get machined before the adapter goes on the trans?

 

The pump face is machined from the factory

Tony

 

You're killin me

 

Variation on the JB Super Bell adapter/safety shroud used in drag racing. I'm surprised we don't see more adapters made like this.

 

that looks great. I like the fact that the bell housing mates to the entire back end of the olds. I have '60 394 that I am connecting to a 700r4. I had a guy in California do the work and i sure as hell hope it works. been messing with the mounts to get it right. Since my version of the chop does not have a full surround like yours does, i have to fab a dust cover. I like your work much better!

 

Please PM me a price and availability when you are ready for a complete set up, minus the tranny.

 

Tony -- Keep me posted.

Thanks,
Chris

 

[The 350 and 400 pump bolts are NOT the same. The torque converters will swap but thats it.
