Wondering what strongest transmission cases for Powerglide. Got to start looking for transmission and we all know our feet right next to it,With my history of killing transmissions I figure buying strongest made just not bad idea.

I have a Dedenbear and a JW.  Both are awesome chunks of alum.

Chris I don't think there is a bad one out there . I use an ATI and have had no issues . Make shure you use a good set of planetary's and a good input . The ringless ones are the best.
