So for the 1kth time the v12 box is not any better than a standard v8 box. The only thing bigger are the planetary sets and no one has ever blown them up from tq. The input shafts break 1st and the output shafts. And no one here is going to break one ever. I mean ever. No one makes anywhere near enough tq and no one is putting these in the weight vehicle that you could break one if you were. Until someone is making 1000lb/ft of tq at the wheels. Not crank and ft/lbs not nm. And it is in a G wagen you are all fine So stop worrying about it.
The simple formula here is get a donor bellhousing, and tq converter. Get a good v8 box from any 5l car. I mean any They are all the same .
If it is a 430 or a v6 or whatever they are going to have fewer clutches in them. 5.5 and v12 are not any better.
Swap the bellhousing and have your converter gone through and have the shop add a clutch or two for lock up if you want. But also do not try and lock up a tq converter at 2000rpm of slip. If you do not know what your slip rate is it is easy to figure out. Do not lock up your converter at high loads at low rpm. It will fail.
