Probably the weakest link is the output shaft. If it hasn't been converted to a 28 spline, then it probably should. Other than that, I don't think you can hurt it. And if you do, they're supposedly pretty easy to work on. I have never done transmission work myself, so I don't have any firsthand knowledge.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?
