Yeah the 200 shot did put it over mild. My buddy sold me the kit for $150 with bottle. I couldn't pass it up. This is what happened the first time the spray hit the engine so I never even got to feel it
I ask again sir...did the trans have steel or brass shift forks?

your joking right?
No, not at all, it would have sucked even worse if it were a numbers combo, why do you feel it's such a question?
Anyway.....I didn't realize it was an aluminum case trans, those can flex and fail allot easier than an iron case trans, you may find that was the cause of the carnage.

I had the same kind of thing happen years ago in my 69 Road Runner. I was going about 100+ mph when all hell broke loose, the drive shaft came apart at the front u-joint causing damage to the floor-(still to this day I dont know how the car didnt flip) and the shifter to fall to the floor. Once I inspected it the input shaft had broken off at the trans case and was still in the block,all the mounting bolts for the bellhousing were broken off. The only thing that kept the trans in the car was the fact that I had a shifter for a console that has the bend in the handle and it caught the floor. I got a new trans,drive shaft and bought a Lakewood scatter shield,but the rear end never sustained any damage. If I was you I would look into some saftey items for the rebuild. One more thing I forgot was I believe that my pilot bearing was the cause in the fact that there was nothing left of it and caused the severe vibration. Im sorry to see it took your block out also. Good luck with it.
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!
