Gordon,
Fluid level on the
400 is a very shaky situation. Two things
can contribute to this problem: A. Fluid
level is too high, when trans is warm,
the fluid level should be pan gasket level
to 1/4" above. Any higher than that,
the trans will breathe fluid out. B. Internal
pressure leakage in sealing rings, valve
body or pump halves, etc. Gordon, if it
is just a little over full it will push
fluid out when it gets warm.
Thanks,
Mike

Brent,
This setup sounds
very cool. We have many specialized components
for the Powerglide transmissions: billet
input shafts, aluminum drums, spur gears
sets, Dedenbear cases, etc. It would be
a very good idea to use a Dedenbear case
for a lot of reasons. One is the fact
that all the S.F.I. shields are incorporated
into the case design. Great for cars with
limited tunnel clearance!
What you may find
with this setup is the stall speed may
not need to be as loose as you would think.
The torque converter probably multiplies
at a 2 to 1 ratio. What we have found
is that the trans brakes and the turbo
chargers are good buddies. This car should
thunder!
Thanks,
Mike
