400

 

Coan is good shit as well as ATI

 

Coan makes excellent products and there are others that do too. I have a Coan T-400 and their convertor and I am installing them this weekend. Their service and tech people are very good.

 

Coan is definitely a top notch company and you can't go wrong dealing with them. That said, Rick Alison at A&A is a bad ass dude with a 727. I'm not 100% sure because it's been a while but I think Chrysler contracted him through the 80's to work on torque Flite development. He is what I consider an expert in the field

 

No problem with Coan and I'm sure a 727 would have no problems running mid 10's in your car.

OP we had a 727 in a Plymouth Fury with a 451cid (looked like a 383) engine, could drive it to the track and it had to weigh over 4,000 pds, beautiful car, small tire and we could all pile in this car, it ran mid to high elevens 1/4 mile. Never a bit of trouble with the 727 shifted on the column BUT I guess I should have inquired do you wanna run 10's, 9's or even 8's by the time it's all said and done before suggesting the 400?

 

I should note ATI said their decision was based upon the vehicle weight and potential HP
I was a little suprised when you look at what stock/superstock and some nostagia type cars are doing

As mentioned, Coan is top notch. That being said, Rick at A&A is the foremost expert on Torqueflites.

 

Come to think of it op just put a Powerglide in it, hell I went low tens 134mph at 3775pds 12 years ago with a steel headed +.060 427 BB Chevrolet with a Lunati 50204 roller camshaft and a 4.10 gear on a 10" tire bracket racing 40 times a year with a 2 sp glide

 

Thanks for your replies . Currently i have run high 10.80's, mostly runs high 10 -flat 11.00 , with the B&M trans in car - have fitted a Griner RMVB and solid front band . I have run this since 2007 . I am hoping to go solid 10.50's with the new 505 . A&A is high dollar especially after converting to Aussie peso . Just looking to future proof the trans , not sure how current trans will like new motor . Though initially it will have to do .

Just ordered a Big Dog Powerglide and a 10' Mega Converter from Coan this morning, always had good support and service. Plus they are close enough to drop my shit off and pick it up. What I like the most is the fact they make most if not all their own products in house right there,

 

Thanks Boosted

Check with Fred @ PROTRANS in Sydney knows 727/904 well

 

Didn't Rick @ A&A start out working for or with Griner after Coan and Griner split? It's been a while ago I guess now.
