What is the best, strongest 8 3/4 housing?

I'm not building a race car or anything. It's going behind a stock 340, 727 auto so does it bother anyone tha the housing is a 741? Just asking because I could put the 3.91 gear set into the 742 case...

Sorry, I only got this far in the thread and had to comment that my 741 housing with a suregrip and 4.10's has seen serious street abuse for a good 10 years running stright with 6500/6800 RPM "Side stepping the cluth" shifts.

It has lived behind a reasonably stout "Street" 360. The top equipment is has been used with is RPM heads and various intakes and various cams up to 250 @ .050 duration, super copmp headers. It's an 11-1 engine.

OH, as D-Devil made mention of, no real sticky tires have been used. Various street tires on and off the track at various pressures.
No issues.
