Mike: I will take a Pipe. Also left a voicemail this morning. Call me regarding the AMS-500. Very interested for Judd's car. Thanks! Gerry Bragg Brighton, MI

thanks Don - I'll do a query on your previous posts on this subject.

NOS setup for quick spool-up Don: Can you provide more details about the NOS setup you use to improve turbo spool-up as opposed to a higher stall converter? This application is a THM400, trans brake stock long-block car that is currently running an MPH limited 11.5@114 et, 1.51-1.55...

I saw this car/engine a few years ago as it was being put together and it is not a scam. Not sure about the price but it is a '1 of 1' motor. The intake setup itself is quite unique and impressive. This is not the motor that was on the cover of the Buick Powersource manual (or at least the...

Is the car with the blue interior also a limited? 50/50 seats w/ console, or 40/60 split? Will consider if in similar shape to the tan interior.

can you post or email pics of the seats? Can you post or email pics of the interrior (seats/console) both front and rear? thx

Interested in the vaccum block. Can you send a pic (if handy) to bragggf@gmail.com

THM400 with GV OD will fit A THM400 with a GV OD will fit. Did in my brother-in-law's GN. The fit is tight but like a glove with a 3" driveshaft. The Exhaust at the 'Y' may need to be tweaked just a tad. I can get some pics if you'd like. Won't have a good angle however unless we find a...

Yep you should have it rebuilt, replacing the soft parts and do the necessary updates to the stator support, band anchor pin, etc.. Just about where my stock trans went. 120,000 miles. Just pick the right shop. My Mike Kurtz rebuild lasted almost 190,000 additional miles before the...

is this also valid for a THM400 Is this procedure also valid for a THM400? Have an issue with a trans burping fluid. Have a line attached to the vent tube with a catch cat in the drivers side frame rail. Trans has a deep pan, BTE manual valve body, etc. So assume we get it warm, turn it...

Regardless of what it is (sounds like a converter to me) you will need at a mininum to dissassemble the trans and clean it. Have your trans cooler and lines blown out. They sell an aerosol can that can help do this.

count me in count me in. thx

We did a 400 and GV setup in a GN. Pretty tight install in a G-body but does fit and looks factory. A 400 would be terrible on the highway without the GV. Use a 2.75 gear set in the 400. The gear splitting aspects of the GV is very nice. Note that there is a bout a 1/2 second delay in...

I would put a 2.75 gear set in the 400 for the street. You would want the older '68 and earlier sprag setup. If you drive a lot on the highway dont' expect to cruise at 80 since you'll be doing 4000 RPM with a 3.42 rear and 26" tires. The big downside is the lack of a lockup converter...
