I wouldn't even waste my time with the NV3500 for a V-8...it's a
medium/light duty truck trans. Mine broke when I sold the truck, and Mark
broke his at the track. But I hear that Bernd is using a AX-15 in his
bad-assed little V-6 without any problems so I would think that the NV3500
would be fine for the V-6...just not for a 360.
