10 bolt axles hold up in Novas and Chevelles behind 400 hp also, but they are not turning 35" tall tires and multiplying all of that power 230 times like Bill is. I am not saying that the W56 won't work, but personally I would hate to go through all of that work just to have to be careful and baby the transmission.

The later w series trannies (56, 58) are not that weak. They will easily handle the 200hp of a 7mge with abuse no problem. There is no doubt that the r151 is a stronger transmition but the thing that usually kills trannies other then EXTREAM amounts of power is poor maintenance. 10 old oil will make an r series tranny as demendable as a w series with 10 old oil.

Other then the 3.slow itself Toy doesn't usually sell poor quality mechanical parts.
