My uncle has a hot rod p/u with a big block chevy that has run 158 mph in the 1/4. It has a built 400 turbo. I think they are a strong tranny. I know the Big block does not have the torque that the diesels can have but 158 mph in the 1/4 is a strong truck and the power and torque must be pretty high. I know I have a 90 3/4 ton chevy with the 3 speed 400 and it has over 200,000 miles. It has survived my abuse as well as a teenage boy that owned it before me. Wide open nuetral drops, 50 mph then dropped into reverse.
