833 strength

Back in the day it was very common to find a scattershield so you could put an 833 behind a Chevy or a Ford, but try finding one to put a Muncie behind any Chrysler.

If the slicks actually grip you're much more likely to break a U-joint, explode the clutch or bust the rear long before you're going to break an 833. I'd be willing to bet the guy you're talking to is talking about things he's heard about and not his first hand experience.
