Yes they are forward and direct drums, 300M input and intermediate shafts, 36 element Super Sprag and oversized center support. 8 frictions and steels drums.
I am more worried about a cast iron drum than I am about a billet aluminum drum. Iron is much more brittle and way heavier.
I was planning on using one of their SFI cases but I will put this stuff in a OEM case with a blanket. maybe the big plastic SFI trans cover they make. or I might make my own out of 1/4" steel. My track would let me do it. Stronger than any blanket.
I took the parts to a local transmission shop that builds racing 400s, he likes the parts.
If you lunch a transmission at least it down not take your engine out. Tore up a few.
