ZF6 is not the weak link if it’s not worn out, the half shafts and diff will give out sooner. Should upgrade the clutch though. They run the ZF with 1000HP silver state cars, and if you’re at that level, it does need some modifications.

How’s the current ZF6 working? Smooth as peanut butter, 1-2 shift and 2-1 shift downshifting, 3-4 shift, and also reverse? If not, I wouldn’t use it until someone like ZF Doc went through it. If it’s good, they could use a rebuild every 100K to 150K miles… but if you only have 50K miles and it’s smooth and not prone to hang or pops out of gear etc.

Well… yes but replace “new clutch” idea with a “better clutch”… than OEM Valeo Pressure Plate with organic friction disc and dual mass flywheel.

On the negative side (for others reading this), he doesn't seem to be interested in mild street engines per our conversation at PRI about 20 years ago, so the OEM TPI setup is probably going to mean Comp/Isky/Bullet/Crane etc.
