Get the South Bend,you'll like it better. Make sure to get a sprung hub dual disc. I run trans coolers from Midwest Trans. They are like a finned diff cover than bolts to the PTO plate holes on each side and allows you to run more oil. I believe I run 4 extra quarts in mine.

I could weld a bung on them to keep an eye on the tranny temp. How hot have you guys seen these tranny's reach
