I don't agree, my 3500 has lived for 80,000 miles behind my 360, and one has
lived behind Jason Hammond's Ultra-fast 318 powered Dakota that runs 11.69 @
117mph! Liberty Transmissions told me that the 3500 is very tough and will
last a while behind a 500hp 360.
If you really want a change, it is possible to swap a Viper or a Richmond
6-spd behind it, but you really should be running an auto behind that kind
of horsepower. Talk to Phoenix Trans about it.
