as long as its not cracked i doubt you have anything to worry about, guys run 400+ hp through them i think it would take a 5in drop

with aluminum housing id be careful check for cracks if that bell housing is cracked your actually gonna lose power due to torque not transfering correctly and could cause vibrations in the trans wich will lead to bigger problems down the road
