Trans shield

ont drum a I’m shocked to see that as well. However, technology and new upgraded parts I’m sure have evolved that like many other things.

For what it’s worth, not that I would recommend it or anyone else would recommend, but I know people who have ran 9s and 10s for many of years with nothing more than a stock front drum, cheetah RMVB, and bolt in 12 element sprag. But I would certainly be upgrading that drum in the future.
I agree with the aftermarket front drum ! Had a 383 nitrous Motor in a 67 Valiant and the transmission got weird on me shifting funky and slipping . Long story short the front drum was cracked on the back side all the way around with maybe 1-2" holding it together .No stock front drums for me anymore . Luckily I dodged that Bullet . There's stubborn people out there that wont upgrade them. It's just a matter of time until a rude awakening .
