Nice Coan 8 inch converter
They advised it is on the tight side for 8 inch so great for big block or blown small block--they said on injected SBC
with decent power 4500-to maybe 5000  killer unit turbo spline for PG  low run time--never opened these are $950 new get this nice converter $450   call 704 244 6649  Thanks

It's never been opened and low run time ? Is there a part number? Is it built for the midplate? Spragless ?Thanks. George

not built for midplate  Coan makes neat little kits that include a hub spacer and all for different thickness plates and they are cheap--i have used them before they work out great. converter belonged to my neighbor--had it in a car for short while--later quit racing--will tag up this evening thanks

Dave, I contacted Coan this morning. They were quick to respond and excellent advise. It's not close enough for my deal. I am in the 900-1100 hp range. Thanks.

George
