Are you still using the original rear end too? as I would have never thought they would last a day behind a V8. I tore one up with a 235 and since replaced the original 3 speed with a T-5 and a Ford 8 inch rear end,you might also look at the 49 to 54 car trans as they go togather like the 37/38 3 speeds. I used a motors manual 49-54 trans section to help me go through a 38 trans and since disassemby and assembly process is the same the parts might be similar too.

Your right on the rear end. I'm surprised that it held up to the 216 origional engines. I'm using a 9" ford from a mid 80's truck. I have no problem with the replacing of gears in the tranny as I've had many apart. Great info thou. Thanks Bart
