Lowered the price again!! Selling off the last of my hard-to-acquire smaller-diameter (10-1/2" Chevy and 11-1/4" GMC) toruses for the early Single- and Dual-range Hydramatic transmissions. Also have some 18-bolt torus bowls as well. If you don't know what a B&M Hydrostick from the early '60's gasser wars was, then look it up. These trannies typically came in '55 and earlier Olds/Pontiac/Cadillac passenger cars (among others), and '55-62 Chevy/GMC trucks (which is where these higher-stall toruses came from). If you're running one of these old trannies and need higher stall, then here's what I have at an inexpensive price: --10-1/2" torus, the smallest diameter, used in Chevrolet trucks but can be used on the other models for higher stall... only have half of a torus for this size. If you have a Chevy engine with stock Chevy flywheel, then you must use an 18-bolt torus bowl and I believe that necessitates this 10-1/2" size here (see my 18-bolt toruses listed below). Maybe should mention that different size halves can also be mixed and matched... little-known fact. So don't let the fact that this one is only half stop you here. $15 for this single half --11-1/4", the next smallest diameter, still considerably smaller than what Olds/Pont/Cad/etc. came with... this size came in GMC trucks (at least 6-cyl trucks). Can be used on engines other than Chevy, or to simplify... if you have more than 18 bolts on your torus bowl-to-flywheel pattern, then you should be able to use this size to get higher stall than the stock large toruses found on most passenger models (Oldsmobile/Pont/Cad/etc.). I have two pairs of 11-1/4" toruses (that's one "driving" half and one "driven" half for each pair). $30/pair --Smaller-diameter 18-bolt torus bowls, necessary for Chevy flywheels. Two available at $35/ea. Will do a nice package deal with a further reduced price for someone who wants it all. Might be a great time to stock up, these smaller truck toruses are quite hard to acquire... it would be very easy to spend much, much more than this just on gas driving around trying to find some... If you are planning on running a B&M hydro behind something like Chrysler hemi, Ford FE, etc. then I suspect all the toruses themselves would be useable with those applications... IF you can get the flywheel and bellhousing adapter for those (I did once own some hemi flywheels that took the larger 30-bolt torus bowl). I know the torsues can be used with Olds/Cad/Pontiac. The 18-bolt bowls are probably Chevy only, and possibly GMC 6-cyl truck, unless you get a custom-made 18-bolt flywheel for a different type engine. These parts have some rust and should be molasses dipped to get them squeaky clean again. They are bone stock, not modified. For you locals... I'm in the Big Bear Lake area of California, but could possibly meet you in the Redlands area on a day that I happen to drive down there. However, I should mention that I also have these for sale elsewhere and if someone sends me money, then I won't be able to hold them. Your best bet would be to drive up here to the Big Bear Lake area... and it is beautiful up here right now, so probably worth the drive... For you guys farther away... yes, I will ship but you need to be prepared for the shipping costs on this steel!!!!! Also... I would need to limit the shipping to the 48 continental USA due to the weight, thanks for understanding. If interested, then please e-mail me direct at [email protected]
Attn: Hughie in ID... packages are on way. I checked my e-mail either Friday evening or Sat morning, saw that you asked for the tracking #'s... but didn't have time to find the receipt until now. And now I cannot get into my e-mail (Yahoo) for some reason. Posting this here in case you happen to see this. Will keep trying to get into my e-mail to send you the trackers, but I have a feeling you may end up seeing the packages first!
