It's toast, within the first couple weeks of drive time, w/ 600+ lbft..
TKO600, 0.82 overdrive.. No question about it, the only way to go.
OBTW.. Those 28 spline currie axles of yours are toast too and you'll have to change the diff to 31 spline. Kev, puttin' a big motor in it (as you're finding out) is the tip-o-the-iceburg. Once you put that 482 in it the standard Lone Star drivetrain fare behind the engine is too frigile and must be replaced. Dig deeper, there's another 4 or 5 grand you'll have to come up with. The engine's about 60% or your costs to get there. Trust me, I know..
You're constantly trying to reinvent the wheel. Listen to Keith. He'll guide you through the whole process. Ram aluminum flywheel with a "Long Syle" Ram clutch, rated at 2600 lbs. He'll tell you what you need, for the whole car. LISTEN TO HIM!!!
Sorry to many trips to the Keurig machine this AM...
All truth, no bullsheet
