833 aluminum overdrive reinforcement

If you sleeve the countershafts you'll be more than fine with a mild 360 on the street. I know a couple of people that have run 833OD's behind 440's in E-bodies without any issues at all, and one of those was used on the drag strip for a season. The 833's are tougher than people give them credit for.

Just curious, how bad did the 1st to second gear jump hurt him at the strip? I think first is 3.07 and second is 1.67? I know the 440 would have tons of torque but that's a big jump.
