any interest in how to build a racing powerglide?

Hi, Ken "BadShoe" Collins here. As you guys may know, I produce "How To Videos" related to Ford drivetrains. [SIZE=2]www.badshoeproductions.com[/SIZE][SIZE=2]
My question I'm putting out there is there any interest in learning how to build your own drag race powerglide?....Ken.

Ken,
I love your stuff, but there might be more interest on how to build a race C4 here.
It is, after all, an All Ford forum.

I've built a few glides now . Yes would be interested ..

Ken..i have your C4 videos, 9 inch etc..I'd certainly like to see a bulletproof buildup of a C4 though as we are installing one in my son's 94. Engine is a 363 and the trans has to handle over 900HP.

I'd certainly like to see the 'glide' buildup as well as that too could be an option.

best regards...John

yes, i would love a good glide video. i like your c4 video

Thanks for the feedback guys, I also plan on doing a FMX and top loader later next year. My old drag race buddy has been after me for a couple of years about doing a PG. I kept telling him it doesn't fit my Ford theme but he reminds me that Chevy guys are buying my 9" and the jeep guys get my 8.8". Add to that, most of the high power-to-weight Fords around here are running powerglide, especially those racing 1/8 mile. In my C4, C6 and AOD videos and PDF files, I show stock buildups with tips on upgrades for HiPo use. With this PG project, it will be a race only buildup. Frankly, building a racing C4 is pretty much like a stock buildup with addition of some aftermarket hard parts. Input shaft and welded forward drum comes to mind. Fact is the C4 can be built to handle high HP, no question but it can get pricey. From what I've seen, if you have lots of power in a light weight (say 3K or less) race only car you just don't need a 3 speed, 1/8 mile especially. I have to agree with my buddy that with many full tilt application, the PG's simplicity, light weight, small size, aftermarket support does make it a good option so I believe I'll take this project on....Ken.

Thanks, Ken, as I said in another forum, I liked your AOD vid, and I am looking forward to taking on a PG project for my 1/8 mi. car.
