Race car had a fire...  I do not know what or whose car this was in.

seems to be a bit of that going around....

short fuel lines...  

short nitrous lines...  

when the carb, manifold or blower lifts... it tears the pressurized lines loose... turning loose the BBQ starting fluid..

were they planning on bringing it back under the warrantee??

saying they did not understand why it does not work .. it just quit shifting..

Probably nothing wrong with the trany. good opertuninty for a cheap trany, just whack off the bellhousing, machine flush with the pump mounting surface and add a aftermarket SFI rated bell housing. Flush the trany and service it...and stick it in your average 800 hp street rod... :twisted:

Or, we have a powerglide that was procured for the RRT racer. Will the after-market guts fit in a stock case? Did the torque converter survive or is that why it's come the way of your company? If you gut it the scrap aluminum might be easier to carry to the scrap dealer than the same weight of empty beer cans. GPster
