shorty glide to std tail shaft
noslin:
ok, thank you. thats nice to know. ill find out specs on the glide.
dreracecar:
Using a shorty glide requires more couplers and a extra shaft along with a cover whereas a long glide thats part of the trans, Plus with those extra pieces there is more driveline slop at the hit that has to lock-up before the car starts to move
bikeguy307:
I have customers with both combos in FED's its more a choice than, one works better than the other. It is more what rear mounting for the trans do you have? It is easier to convert the teans to fit the car, than to convert the car to fit the trans.
noslin:
chassis is being built, so no mounts yet. i think he was going ot set it up for standard long PG. if the consensus that a long glide is best then thats the direction ill go in. if shorty will work but performance suffers then i wont get it.
i have about 2k in parts (case and bare heads) this guy would trade for. it is in a stock case but has shield??? so not a SFI rated case. case would be another 1400... so i dont know if he wants to give me cash or ? i need to figure that part out. new trans from what i have seen on the net for say 1800 hp are about 4k.
as side note, IF in A/Fuel do most run PG or clutch setup on blown cars. i would think at that level a clutch 2speed. ? if thats the case then a mount would have to be installed anyways for the other trans; liberty, lenco or ? not sure what is used.
im just trying to see the best option.

PG used in a dragster should only use the bell housing bolts for attachment and no rear mount, best to let it float
