  3. i know some of the dirt track guys around here used a Chevy Powerglide setup like that....of course they used a Chevy engine. a guy i know set many of them up. i believe there is no torque convertor used with a direct coupling from engine crankshaft to the pump on the transmission. then a 1/4 turn ball valve to control it...some even hook that to a "clutch" pedal

    what engine/transmission are you thinking?
