Coa n E ngi neeri ng is e xcite d to an-
nounce the newest addition to its “Billet Brake”
line of valve bodies. The all new Powerglide ver-
sion is designed from the ground up to be the
lightest, quickest reacting, and best performing
valve body on the market. All circuits in the valve
body have been exactly sized to ensure fast trans
brake set-up, quick shifts, and lighting quick
trans brake release. An integrated adjustable
pressure regulator allows the valve body be tuned
to its application. Unlike many other aluminum
valve bodies, the Coan “Billet Brake” supplies
regulated converter charge oil to ensure torque
converter behavior is unaffected.
