I kinda regret not putting a Lenco in it. I chose the 727 because I truly believe they are strong enough and I like using the stock mopar stuff. A turbo 400 or glide would cost double of what I have in the torqueflite. Oh, and the reason for a 3 speed is that we thought it would be 3300 pounds or more and guys who are that heavy really benefit from the low gear in a three speed. Now that it’s done it weighed 2869. We were kinda off I guess haha.

For the street I use turbo guards on the turbos and we have had street cars set up like this before and haven’t had an issue but for safety I use to use a piece of house screen with a hose clamp 😂 but now I’m high tech because the turbo guard has a screen and a larger wire mesh to provide protection for larger rocks or trash.

I’m 50/50 on going to the MATS, it would be pretty expensive for me to go and it would have to depend on if I can get some solid passes before then. I’d hate to drag my stuff out there and break a small part.
