Personally I’d stay away from today’s solid flat tappet lifters. Just my opinion.

I would put it in the rear of the pan. The pan I use had a boss thick enough to drill and tap. You can either weld a bung in the back of the pan, or drill a hole and use a bulk head fitting if there isn’t enough aluminum to run a tap through.

Pan is the best place to put it in my opinion.

I run an electric temp gauge with the sensor in the back of the trans pan. Simple drill and tap for the fitting thread size and your good to go. I like electric over mechanical because when I service the transmission, I don’t have to worry about pulling the sender out of the pan, I can just...

Ya I’d put a deeper pan and bigger cooler on it. Itll help keep it out of the 220 range.

I don’t think you’re running out of fluid. But I certainly would put a deep pan on it and a bigger trans cooler. How hot you talking during round robin?

Aftermarket with a switch panel. If you still want to use the key to crank the engine over, that’s easy, just don’t use the ballast resistor because they go bad. So make sure the ignition is wired through a a separate switch. Take your pick, painless, K&R (my personal choice), ARC, Digital...

Second on the Russler II. He can make any diaper for your oil pan. And very reasonably priced.

Lots to do this winter at the Bowman Performance shop and BPR Transmissions. Tim and I got my engine 99% finished a few weeks ago. Waiting on machine shop to cut the intake so the ports will line up, then it will be 100% done. That will need dropped in my Demon before spring to start the...

You can always keep the 7AL2 in the vehicle in case of a grid failure. That’s what I did with my 7AL2+ after I bought the grid.

On a small block I’m not sure Wally. I know on a big block B-body they need removed to get the trans out.

Spot on

Technology in this day and age is not something to underestimate. Congrats. That is trucking.

I believe it. 100%. Especially dragsters and door cars with powerglides. It may be something I buy in the future if I get some extra cash.

I wish I would have bought the biondo time and rpm shift activator opposed to just the rpm one. I have been wanting to try shifting by time because I have heard its more consistent.

That’s the biggest reason I don’t change to a glide. Just too much money to do the whole deal. And if you ever decided to do an air shifter for your 904. I don’t think you’ll regret it. I know people have had issues with turbo action air shifter in the past, but I haven’t seen issues with those...

The 1962-1970 front pumps had the cover over the vent because the pump body had a different vent. The 1971-later pumps (which you have) had nothing there so yes that is normal. But it doesn’t hurt to put a plate over it.

Air shifter is an awesome way to go as well. Sorry you were talked out of it. I’ve only seen more consistent shifts with my air shifter and others who I race with. It’s pretty simple. I’m shocked others have had issues. Make sure the co2 bottle is full and doesn’t leak. Ensure it’s set between...

That’s a pretty nifty way of doing it

It’s in the floor to the left of my seat and the brake pedal is about 1 foot ahead of it. It needs moved but that’s another thing on the “to do” list.

Hahah. If you saw where my brake pedal is, you wouldn’t even understand how I drive the car. It sucks

Found some when it was first installed in 2018. Can’t believe I don’t have any other photos of it. I hope this helps.

I run one and it was a game changer for me when I put it on. My lights really got better when I no longer had to worry about flooring the gas pedal after reacting to the top bulb. I will look for pictures and post them if I have them. If I don't, I will take some when I put my engine in over...

Nice work!

Norwalk is the best I’ve been to for overall experience. I’ve heard London is just as good attendance wise but I never been. Hope to go this year maybe.

Basically everything you had hit on is my understanding for the reason flow numbers are so low out of the box. I know the valve jobs are poor when they are new. And yes the amount gained by a CNC and hand port/finish job is very substantial. If there is anything I would recommend if you are...

Thanks for sharing Sean. You’ll have to keep us informed of the direction you go. Either way, it’s gonna be cool to see how fast it goes.

Can’t wait to see a set on your car. Gonna fly

Your welcome, happy to share. Just like sharing something that I thought was a cool and interesting experience. I really enjoy learning and am very privileged to have great people close to me who are willing to teach me. If you ever buy an aftermarket block, I would immediately punch it out to...

Thanks Korie, gonna be interesting.
