Aluminum 833OD behind a 440...your thoughts

The OD trans are strong from my experience. Put one from a feather duster behind my mild 318. I had no idea what the condition of the transmission was but i put it in anyway. It had loads of miles on it, all sorts of bearing noises and 4th gear sounds terrible but, I just don't use it since I have 3.23 gears and 275/60/15 tires.

Anyway I have beat on it for a good year and a half and it doesn't sound any worse than it did when I put it in. I have done many 6,000 rpm clutch dumps and it just keeps going! Id put one behind a stock or mild bigblock with no worries.

Gear spread tire size and rear end ratio will let you know if the trans is usable. Plug them into some calculators and see if it works on paper.
