Behind a 6 cyl they are a nice reliable strong box. Even behind a 302 they survive well. The 351 variants had different ratios but I'm not sure if they were stronger or not.
If you have the 4 speed bell housing then it will bolt in place of yo

I'm planning to use a Toploader behind a mild 265 Hemi but the prices they're starting to get has me a little conserned so i'm thinking single rail.
I assume from the above posts that a single rail is up to the task but is there any diffrence to a Valia |

OK,
A Ford Single rail is nowhere near as strong as a Toploader but does share the same clutch and bellhousing as a small block toploader.
The ford Single rail shares very few parts with the Valiant single rail unfortunately. Firstly the Ford inp |

Also the last vehicle I drove that had a toploader was a real s h i t due to the crappy external linkages that they are hampered with.

Thanks for the info Jim. I have priced a bellhousing for the ford box onto hemi (IIRC $450ish). I think i'm better off doing the Ford box in the long run so will stick to the plan but if when the time comes to buy a box that i gotta pay a huge price for a Edited by user Wednesday, 25 June 2008 7:06:26 AM(UTC)

I'm not sure about the strength but the 351 single rail has different ratio's to the 6 cyl/302 box. As for the top loader I think that most of them are the same except the big block versions which have a very large input shaft.
