" From: Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx> " " I doubt the SR4 is any stronger than the T4 or T5, if that's what you mean by " toploader. it isn't even as strong, and it isn't what i meant - nor mark i think. " Again I'll mention the toploader used behing Ford 428s/429s etc. is " NOT the SR4. many trannies are toploaders, but this is the one nicknamed 'toploader', as the other 4sp of the '60s - t10, muncie, saginaw, np833 - are all side loaders. it's the one i was thinking of, and it's the family the amc t150 3sp is in; also the jeep t176/7/8.
