Tom,

Aluminum C3 cases may be too weak to withstand much HP. I believe they were used behind automatics from the factory, where the cast iron unit was used behind stick shift transmissions.

A friend's Cobra ate one of the aluminum ones in spectacular fashion while just cruising the interstate and minding his own business. Admittedly it already had some spirited use behind a fairly tame small block plus some track day exercise. He has since switched to the cast iron version.

Just a heads-up.

BTW, your disclaimer about the speech-to-text app gave me a good chuckle.
