833 strength

So many variants......so here goes...

Factory 1971 Demon 340, 4 speed. Can this tranny handle 500HP/500 Ftlbs?
More important, can it handle it with a good set of slicks and a great hook up?
Some oldtime Mopar dude told me my tranny will CERTAINLY be short lived once I install my new engine......What?

I'm an addicted Mopar man now, but back in my Chevy days we never even THOUGHT about the strength of a Muncie.

I'm all pumped up for this build and can't wait to get in the 11's and then I hear this. I know you guys will set me straight.

the right clutch and how hard it hooks will determine this...i think its possible with the right clutch on slicks, but thats not to say it wont break. anything is possible. Obviously in this case an 18 spline would be advantageous, but most say the 23's can take a good beating too...i say try it out and see...if it breaks fix it and upgrade it a little...an 833 should at least be able to take low 11's in an a-body with the right clutch

good luck!
