Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
Hughes makes good quality parts, best to get a cast aluminum pan VS a stamped steel one.

My dad had them rebuild the TH350 in his suburban and they did a real nice job! X2 on the aluminum pan.

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
My '69 C10 has one of their TH400 transmissions and a 2500 stall converter (Hughes as well). I haven't driven the truck with it yet as the engine is just now being installed. The PO swears the transmission was great behind the 396BB, but time will tell.

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
I have some of their converters in my stuff (700 hp Blown small lock) and I have had no problems. Their customer service was fantastic when I went from a nitrous motor to the blower motor they rep itched the blades in the converter for me at an reasonable price. 20% cost vs a new one and it was their suggestion!

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
No.
The picture in that eBay ad is wrong. They're showing the high dollar finned aluminum pan. Your part description under the ad shows it to actually be a steel ordinary pan that you're buying for the money. Read the description. It doesn't even have a drain plug. The pan in the picture is another pan entirely. A 170 dollar pan ! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hup-hp3780/overview/ |

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
I used one of their converters and I was happy with it. I found it very cheap through their eBay store

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
I just purchased a Hughes th400 pan and the quality is great! Mine is the extra 2 qts and comes with filter extension and all hardware. Can't say on anything else but the pan is nice! Got it from Summit and they shipped it for free.

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
Good looking out bro. I guess I hadn't read into the details. Talk about bait and switch. I guess I overlooked it as I wouldn't expect that from summit. Lesson learned.

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
I've been ordering from Summit since the early 90s with perfect and satisfying results every single time. I feel very sure it's a clerical mistake on their part with the wrong photos and not a purposeful bait and switch.

Re: Hughes Performance Reviews
I always braze my own plugs in.
My brother had one of their torque converters. It towed well. |
