Does anybody know how strong factory 65 V8 3sp tranny is? Unless I find a great deal on a T-5 I'm planning to use the 3spd from my fastback in my 65 coupe project. I'm building a mild but torquey 331 for it and would like to have some idea if the 3spd just going to explode the first time I dump the clutch.

its every bit as strong as a toploader. It's the same thing minus one gear.
