Well,
I have finally collected all the parts necessary for my powerglide conversion onto my 2jzgte. Here is an honest break down of the associated costs-
Transking Sportsman glide-1064.00 shipped
Transking Converter 5000 stall-600.00
Bullish Flexplate flywheel(expensive, but necessary, they were real nice on the phone when I ordered it)-1100.00
Shifter 160.00
1/2 thick sheet of aluminum for making adapter plate. Cheap!(bullish wanted 850 so I decided to make my own. I'll probably be making up about ten of them if anyone is interested)
SFI approved tranny blanket- 85.00
Low profile SFI approved flywheel shield 125.00
Custom driveshaft 200.00
Modified transmount-PRICELESS!! (actually free, just a bit o labor)
Grand Total-3,334.00 Not to bad I must admit...
Some side notes-
Transking- I went with them based on the experiences of others with them. They are located in galveston TX...A friend of mine competes in NHRA Super Pro and went the entire season on his Transking powerglide without a failure(thats over ten races not including test and tunes, so 100's of passes!) He sent it back over the winter for a "freshen up" and it was only 200.00!(lets see you do that with your supra tranny
He runs 9.40's with a big block chevy, so it can handle the power!
Transking converters-they custom make the converter in house to your specs and desired stall speed.
If you want a different 1st gear ratio on your powerglide, you will pay an extra 800-900 dollars(for supra owners you will probably need a 1.96 or better) My 2jzgte is going in a 2700 pound vehicle, thus I can get away with the 1.76 first gear.
Flywheel- I got the flywheel for Bullish, it is a direct bolt on and allows you to simply bolt on a GM type converter. It was pricey(1100) but the service was great. They also sell a 1/2 thick aluminum adapter plate but it was 850.00 so I will be making my own, I'll probably make up a few extras at about half that price if anyone is interested.
I'll let you know how it performs once I hit the track! It is going in the truck which you can see on the SDS fuel injection web site(cut and paste address below to see) It previously ran an 11.3 @ 123mph with the 4 cylinder, with 2jzgte power, stand alone, t72 turbo and a glide I am shooting for high 8's...should be a hell of a ride!
