Default 331 stroker and World class tremic ?

i'm in the process of building a 331 stroker for my 66 Fastback and before i started taking everything apart the World Class tremic was running perfect. i dont drive my cars very hard but i"m still wondering if the T-5 is going to handle the engine well. any thoughts?

If you don't drive the car hard, then it will probably be ok. A well built 331 can put out well more than the 300ft-lbs of torque that a WC T5 is rated for, but without sticky tires and a heavy right foot, you probably won't have any issues.

I'm sure it will hold up as long as your not racing it, but even so you could always rebuild it and beef it up to withstand more.

what things can be done to beef it up? its out of the car right now because i pulled it out attatched to the engine. be easier to take car of it before it goes back in.
