I need some advice on a completly rebuilt 3 speed tranny from a 37 chevy truck. It was given to me as payment for work done. My 37 has a 300 HP 305 engine(at the crank) and I have a 350 tranny in it now.. I can make my own adapter so the 3 speed can fit my 305, but was wondering how it would hold up to the extra HP and torque(313 lbs.)
Don't bother. They're a cluster buster, marginal behind a Dipper.
Put it on Evellbay - a restorer can use it. It sure wont take a modern STOCK V8 Chebbie's horsepower. Heck, it had trouble holding up to anyone that drove a '37 '6' aggressively. :LOL:
Dont even think about it as I damaged 2 with a 120 or so HP 235,I hope I dont do the same with the T-5 that replaced the original. Jeff
