When our pal “Mad Matt” Graves joined the American Powertrain team last year we were excited because we had just installed one of their Science Friction Clutch kits behind our Lingenfelter LS3 in the 48 Hour Camaro and knew just how good their stuff was. When he told us about all the new stuff in the works, in addition to all that they already offered, we wanted more. From Science Friction Atomic clutches that hold over 1000 lb. ft. to Pro Fit 5 and 6 speed kits, as well as SuperShift overdrive automatic kits, all American Powertrain systems come with every nut, bolt, and component you need for a parts store free installation in your GM, Ford, or Mopar. You street rod and kit car guys are all set as well. They can set you up with a kit for just about anything!
When the American Powertrain Team met with us at the 2011 SEMA Show, it wasn’t your typical sales meeting. We hit the local kart track, did some bumping, talked about projects, and agreed that nobody represented the Bang or Shift in BangShift.com better. We’ll be working with American Powertrain this year on a couple of different projects of ours, all while following projects of their own. When they said they thought we should put a stick in our project ’66 Bel Air Wagon, we couldn’t really argue. We are BangShift.com after all.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with American Powertrain, keep in mind that these guys have decades of experience putting together complete overdrive swap kits, and are one of Tremec’s biggest distributors. American Powertrain has a huge selection of Transmission Kits, Transmissions, Aluminum and Steel Bellhousings, Flywheels, Clutches, Driveshafts, Pedals, Shift Linkage, Clutch Linkage, Hydraulic Clutch Systems, X-Factor Crossmembers, and Gearvendors Under/Overdrives plus more. Oh, and did we mention that they also have crate engines? Yep. Up to 750 horse, and COMPLETELY assembled and ready for installation and fireup. Are you sensing a trend here? If you get it from American Powertrain, it is ready for installation and won’t require you to hit the auto parts store 15 times before your swap is done.
American Powertrain is working on a completely redesigned website that will have even more cool stuff on it, but click on the kits below to visit www.americanpowertrain.com and check out what is available for your hot rod, race car, or pro-touring machine.
