I'm tracking a couple leads down on some Toploader transmissions in preparation for my car. I've been concentrating on a small shaft, wide ratio transmission as ERA recommends. I like a wide ratio transmission just for the ease of driving around town. Are these things really plenty beefy enough behind a moderate 428 motor (400 flywheel HP range)?

I might have a lead on a close ratio toploader but then I would probably need to step up to a 3.54 rear from the 3.31.

I know there will be suggestions to go with a 5 or 6 speed but I'm old school. After 39 years of 4 speeds the shift pattern is engrained in my senses.

Thanks
