Very tough box with revised oiling and well spaced gear ratios. The E8 has the stronger synchros as well. My E7 has been used regularly with 200 lbs
ft through it on my supercharged Striker.

its a BGH modified type 9, its the strongest one they do - 280bhp / 240 ft.lb
(as in the link above)
I've got one too, but I can't say much about it because I've not used it yet 
btw - it might be worth adding if its a long or short input shaft one  (I'd guess its a short one)
