Aluminum 833OD behind a 440...your thoughts

There tougher than many make them out to be in the forum discussions.
No need to be worried. Just because they make the 833 in stronger versions
such as the iron case & 18 spline doesn't mean the lesser models are a bad risk.
Total myth from my experience.
I have ran the aluminum od transmissions behind some strong 440s
over the years and have never broke a single one. Believe me when I tell you I did not pamper them. Quite the opposite.
I always used big tires and even in vehicles such as pickups that you wouldn't consider light weight.
I would not recommend using one in a designated drag car but they will handle
what you can give them on the street. Slicks and a sticky starting line can break about anything.
Even a 18 spline or a dana eventually with enough hp. Go ahead and treat them mean.
