Good case, JW , Reid etc, 1.80 st cut with the good output shaft, ringless input, rear pump half with a pinned and bolted stator tube
, dual ring servo piston and matching spring, kevlar band (std width) 7-8 Alto reds in the high drum, teflon rings throughout, Good pro brake vb, deep pan etc you'll be in good shape.............sure theres a part or two I left out, carefull assy.......smooth ring sealing areas etc.
Gooooood converter, big cooler, syn fluid................this will live no problem in your combo.

Running 1/8 or 1/4? A 3 speed may be a better choice depending on what your doing at the weight and hp your suggesting.

We ran a 3906# with driver 1100hp car N/A all season with an aftermarket case and internals like Fabio said. Tore it down after the end of the season and it was burning the clutches up, only problems we had. Went ahead and switched to a 10 clutch drum while it was apart.

Blake just has 5 in that monster of his.
If it is slipping the fluid will get smelly-discolored............a lot of slip it'll lose high gear.
