Well, I'm tossing around the idea of putting a bigger motor in my '55 and replacing the straight 6. I dont wanna cut the floor up and put a 4 speed in, so how much do you think a stock Saginaw 3-speed o/d can take? Hp and Torque? I won't be beating it, but every now and then i would like to get on it. Yes, I know this is a 6 cylinder site but thought maybe someone might know. I know these trannies are tough, but how tough? Thanks.

a 30,000 mile UNMOLESTED original, now my daily driver! Original 6 cylinder with a rebuilt '66-'69 Saginaw 3-speed Overdrive. Synchro low! Otherwise, everything original down to the spare tire. Interior is like new. Needs paint, but absolutely zero rust.
