I will be pulling my converter out from the Plymouth very soon, and it will be up for sale.
I bought it used and have had it in my car for two seasons now.... I had to run a tap through one of the bolt holes for the flex plate attachment.
I would be willing to take it to work and have the machine shop replace that mounting pad or fill the hole back in and re-drill/tap it so they are all the same thread...
I did what I had to in order to get the bolt to install safely instead of being worried about it coming loose at 6000 rpm....
Anyhow,,, If anyone is interested in a 3200 RPM COAN converter, it will be pulled after I return home from San Francisco Dec 11th.....
I'm thinking $150.00 will buy it..... and you cover shipping.
I won't except money until it is out and ready to be shipped.... I will update this post when all is ready........

Thanks,
Jim
 
I mentioned to partmopar that I would add a short video of this converter working in my Plymouth. I made a Mid throttle launch, then the tires broke loose.. next step was a shift into second and an easy back out of the throttle...

This is the most recent video of the car starting and running this summer after adding 50cc pumps on the carb and larer jets.... Notice the extra plume when I hit the throttle hard now.... It pulls harder now from lower RPM throttle stabs..... So I'll live with the puff I get from low RPM dead stop throttle punch.. LOL!
Doesn't say much for the converter, other than it is currently in a running / driving car....

I've read about your combo, but where do you think your HP and torque is and do you know car weight? Does it flash to 3200 on foot brake? How doe s the converter cruise at, say, 2500 RPM's? Is it tight or loose?

Also, are you running street slicks or regular street tires?

It seems to flash around 3200 when footbrake launching. I cant get it that high when on the brake, but once you get it to the point where it wants to either push through the brakes, or tires breaking loose, then stuff the go pedal, it goes up to the 3200 range...
I run Hoosier Quick Time Pro's that are "DOT" approved... It's really a slick with a couple shallow groves cut around the tire....
As you can tell in the video, I dont have much trouble blistering them things!!!! LOL....

It does run tight otherwise when just driving around.... it's not a loose mushy feel at all.......

My HP comes in around 3600 and rockets up from that point QUICKLY! Torque comes in just before that.... That's why it can push through the brakes or spin the wheels when foot braking.
I'm not sure of the weight,,, guessing around 3500 to 3600 pounds.... Glass hood, aluminum heads, lightened it up a bit from factory ratings.. The heads alone are a pretty substantial decrease in weight...
 
UPDATE:
There are several of you that have expressed an interest in this converter.
Once it is out (Hopefully this weekend) I will clean it up and post pictures for all to see. I don't want to miss represent this converter to ANYONE, for the sake of having a sale. I truly want the new owner to feel comfortable about what he or she is getting, and to ease my nerves a bit about selling a used item...
Like anything used, there is an inherent risk involved, and I want it to be as minimal as possible for both parties.
Once again, IT DOES WORK IN MY CAR NOW, but it is a used item....
Stay tuned for pictures, and I have an order of folks expressing interest and the offer for purchase at asking price plus shipping will follow that list as received.
Thanks again to all of you!
Regards,
Jim

Here is a link to a store selling the same converter. They give the manufacture description for you to read.

It is a 11" converter (I thought it was 10") but my memory fooled with me!
 
If you call Coan with the numbers show in the picture, they can tell you everything about that converter. Just had mine rebuilt for much less than a new converter.
