Right on. I forgot about that option. It’s a good one. A couple of years ago it got nudged out by the Tremec.

I’m not surprised about the 8.75 recommendations. This is my first 8.25 so no experience breaking one. I must say this one has held up well under the 350 hp 360.

Whether a 408 or a power adder how much can the 8.25 handle? Not a glamorous swap but maybe a necessary one. Being able to ditch the drum brakes would help the looks and up the track performance.

I appreciate the input. I’m listening.
