Aluminum 833OD behind a 440...your thoughts

You know what man, I'm going play devil's advocate.


A supporting anecdotal example is the NV3500 that will physically fit behind a 360, but because of the torque rating, and undesirable gear spreads, people steer away from it, name call, etc...

But, those that do use it, and have experience with it offer simple advice that I'd think would apply here:

Keep fresh oil in it.
Don't neutral drop it.
Don't clutch dump it.
Don't powershift it.
Don't beat on it with drag slicks.
DON'T ABUSE IT, FIRMLY USE IT!

Coupled with the fact you don't have steep rear gears, and it resides in a fairly light car; I'm going to say hell yes!

Make sure the u-joints in good shape, greased, and are properly degreed, and the driveline is balanced well, this should help with any troublesome issues that may arise with an aluminum extension housing.

Let er' eat, and let the flame begin!

Here is an inspirational NV3500 in a fullsize ram with a 360:
