My 35 Blown Flathead Coupe (approx 300hp) drives through a 1939 Ford 3 speed transmission. Mac Van Pelt special built the transmission knowing the power I was putting out. I would not claim it bullet proof by any means ... however Mac paid very close attention to precise tolerances. Also - while I enjoy applying the power respectfully, I never do hole shots out of respect for stock axles which I suspect might be the weakest link. I did spin the tires in 1st gear on dry pavement once ... but that was before I got used to applying the clutch for a smooth but crisp acceleration.
