Question for Powerglide Wizards

[reknapp52]

On the subject of Powerglides--I have been using a stock-case glide in my car. Anyone have comments about the aftermarket cases that are available, problems that might have been encountered? Thanks--

More problems with stock cases , especially when running a valve body with line pressure over 200 psi. .....Sooner or later it will push the side of the case out at the adjuster bolt.
If you're buying a new case ,I have seen issues with many of them , although mostly minor . mostly bolt holes not tapped all the way through , pump bores not properly champhered . ....... Reid / Dedenbear is the exception, never had any problems with them.
