When it is time to say goodbye to broken powerglides
It is time to say hello to the B&J Racing Transmissions Converter Drive
With horsepower increasing in the bracket classes, and quicker brackets on the horizon,
switch out to a B&J Converter Drive unit and end the days of broken powerglides.
Air activated trans brake units to keep consistent leaves independent of the fluid temperature.
The 7 disc trans-brake clutch pack has the holding capacity of 2500 ft-lbs.
CO2 transbrake system has 24 millisecond release with less than 1 millisecond variation in 500 cycles.
Available with many input shaft options including the 1" C6 M300 shaft
and for the ultimate in strength, the super-duty maraging 1.25" shaft.
Also available with sprag unit to freewheel in case of breakage or in the shutdown.
(Sprag clutch is rated to 2863ft-lbs for 50,000 cycles, or 1684 ft-lbs for 1,000,000 cycles!!)
Made in the USA.
For the ultimate in durability, back the quick drive unit with a B&J Big Boy three speed.
This type of setup is completely capable of continuous 5 second runs.
All this for less than a 'top of the line' powerglide and a quality spare.
(The B&J converter drive is not part of the transmission, and thus has almost any gear ratio option available.)
These drive units are not only for drag racers.
The B&J quick drive unit is the new rage in Monster Trucks.
Other applications include mud racers, tractor pullers, sand drags, etc.
Here are some typical measurements from the B&J Converter drive.
