Hi Greg
I would recommend a call to Leo G. on the tranny stuff.
How did the 5.38 compare to the 5.57? Just curious.
Thx

You would want to check the Lo Roller clutch, that is part of a support that is splined into the case close to the gearsets. A nice upgrade is to replace the support and roller clutch with one from a late model 4L65-e .

I haven't run the car with 5.38's yet. 5.57's are only 3-4 % lower, so I imagine putting radial tires on the car would compensate for 5.57-bias ply tires . I did run the car in the 1/8th with bias ply-5.57's and then put the radials on and picked up .05. Tony Janes owns the trans so it probably will go to someone like Leo.Meanwhile the Powerglide and converter go back in.
