I don't want to sell it, because this is one of the best gearbox that I can run in my class. I must have the original casing (casting numbers) of my car year. So short of building a M something with AGE gears inside this one was cheap enough and new, to make me smile!
Thanks for the tip about the other boxes.

I agree with Redvetracr about selling that inferior tranny and get a Tex Racing. If you have any amount of power the case will break.
I would find the rule book, but none of the sanctioning bodies I know of have a problem with t 101's or some people even have the Jericos from NASCAR teams and they have coolers

Like I said...probably wouldn't make much difference to me. Looks minty fresh inside.
When you get to "stupid" horsepower levels, I believe the casing itself is the weak point, not the gears inside. I'd do a M22 gearset just to hear the gear whine and say I have a "Rock Crusher".
I haven't looked, but I believe there are folks that have created a heavier duty case within which all this stuff can go.
Of course, if you start getting too silly about it, a TKO500 5-speed becomes a very real option.
Looks awesome, though. I LOVE finding better stuff than I expected inside of things.

The cases crack back in the sloping area to the tail shaft. Using things like a lite weight damper, flywheel, pressure plate help keep drive line shock down. Solid motor mounts...... It is the thrust internally against thin casting. It is kind of like a two bolt main block. You just don't have enough support on the main caps and it limits the amount of power max before the bottom breaks
I would not even want to own one. They were junk 45+ years ago when I was first hot rodding cars. People with big blocks just tore them up. The cure back then was to install TH400's with a clutch instead of a TC
