I have the M28 tranny and its funny how people comment on their hp rating. A friend of mine who I watched make over 700 ft lbs of torque on the dyno with an M28 never had it flinch a bit. I coupled mine with a 4.10 gear and it sure made the car a heck of a lot more fun to drive and as long as you weren't trying to drive 90 mph on the hwy it was all good.
That same tranny will be behind the new combo. I went ahead and had it rebuilt cause it supposedly had 100K+ miles and when it was pulled apart I was told it looked very good. Go figure...
