Re: 2x4 273

Your drivetrain's survival will depend largely on how you drive the car. 
What breaks stuff is when the tires grab and the engine makes power. I.E. If 
you're power braking with cheater slicks, it won't last very long. If you 
drive like an old man, you can expect more longevity but where's the fun in 
that?
I've seen where the 904 can be built rather strong. I don't know how much 
the 7.25 can take but if I were planning to build the car up, I'd go ahead 
and get an 8.75.
