Re: Stock 52 On Ton Transmission Strength.
As DWcsr said above they work ok with a mild engine as long as they are in good shape to begin with. The rub is that they can be a bit noisy and it takes a bit of finesse to shift one smoothly. That doesn't usually take long to learn though. The next generation compound fourspeed is a smoother operating trans all the way around.
They do make a Hurst shifter handle that works well with a car four speed and Hurst shifter. I had one in the 48 and still have the shifter waiting to go in another project someday.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
