Nathan brought in a converter out of his awesome turbo chargered Honda K24 powered 1968 Toyota Corona.
Gearbox is the trusty old 2 speed Powerglide. Nathan has has been having problems with not being able to achieve the right stall balance manly due to making lots of hp, but not torque. In some ways, it’s comparable to a rotary, all revs, and low in torque. The stator was a locked unit which was causing heat issues, so we fitted a mechanical diode and changed to a “small window stator” to help keep the rpm not dropping down to much going from first gear in to top, keeping the engine in a better hp range. So far he has picked up et’s across the board, and is performing much better, kero an eye out lakeside roll racing events 🤙🏽

We just finished up today a 3200+ C4 to a 750hp turbo Barra going to our good customer Race Transmission Australia in Perth.
When we build a Barra converter for a T400/P-G set up, we use a GM three or six foot SBC bolt pattern billet front cover, and attach a Ford spigot to go with an Automic flywheel.

For the A340 followers out there, we now have a kit for you! This 9.5” kit features a single or multi clutch lock-up plate system. With this kit we can achieve higher stalls for turbo applications, and have a quality lock-up control.

Mitch MacDonald a little while ago brought in a converter out of his immaculate For Torino coupe. It sports a Toca built 605 Big Block Ford motor, paired up to a two speed power glide. We don’t just build converters, but we also can modify any brand, so the need for new converter is not always the case. We modified the stall, as Mitch was experiencing a converter that as to tight.

He is planning to turn on the Nitrous system he has fitted, ounce they have a handle on the motor and suspension.
Their goal was 8.50 @160 on motor only. They managed so far 8.60 . Will be interesting to see what Mitch can get when he turns on the nos. Will possibly need to further modify converter as the power levels go up. 💪🏾💪🏾
