No they are not bullet proof, but if you get the correct model you should be OK, depends on how much torque your engine makes, what tires you run and how sympathetic your driving is...usually an FE should have a 1 3/8" ten spline input & 31 spline tailshaft along with the 2.32/1 low gear close ratio gearset. If you do a lot of town stop/start driving with no competition stuff then you might find the wide ratio 2.78/1 low gearset an advantage especially if you have a tall rear end ratio . Use 80 weight straight gear oil ( NO EP or high load stuff ) and that's about it, oh and find out from Ted ( Motorhead) who built his trans and NEVER take yours there!!
