I understand, I do, but I ran that cast iron Saginaw down the drag strip I cant tell you how many times between 2015 and 2017 behind a 261 without a single hic up. It was what I could afford at the time and it turned out to be very reliable. You just had to be easy with it. Like I said, no burn outs, slicks, big tires, dry hops, speed shifting, and other abuse. I replaced my sag in 2018 with a Muncie but my son is going to use the sag in a 57 car he is rebuilding. For an inexpensive traditional four speed it really can’t be beat $ wise. If you want to engage in abuse, it is not going to be the trans for you. But for everything else, it’s a pretty good choice if you are trying to be careful with the bread. Frankly, it was installed behind hundreds of thousands of vehicles over the years and provided dependable service, as long as it was not abused.
