which is better, 1.76, or 1.82 for the big block ford, I have the 176 now, some guys say my car would work better with a 182.

Harold, mine are 1.76. He said they are stronger than the 1.82. He said the 1.76 will w/stand a bunch of power. I will soon find out. keeping my fingers crossed

Avoid the 1.82 sets like the plague....the 1.82 sets use a stamped steel carrier that is much weaker than the 1.76 set. If you want to get as close to bullet-proof as you can, go with a 1.80 straight-cut. After I broke my fifth 1.76 unit, I went with a straight-cut set and have not looked back.

stock, go with 1.76. aftermarket it probably won't matter much.

Well, I think I will run up to Coan Tuesday, and get a new one.

Mikes is a good guy and builds some killer trans to here is his web site.

I don't think I could get one here in time for the bash.

1.80 str. cut the way to go!!!

I have 1.76 oem stuff in mine right now, going to upgrade to some 1.80 strait cuts over this winter as long as the 1,76 stuff lives Thry the season

I will let you know this week-end if I need a 1.80 straight cut, I'm suppose to have a bullet proof 1.76 now according to the man that built it, I hope he knows what he is talking about.
