The 500 will work if you get it built right and tough. Ive been running mine for two years.On the street, towing, and drag racing. Iam running a stroked 340 and i hammer it.

"Well, let's see... 4L changes the Final Drive, so in his defense I technically already have 8 forward gears, 2 reverses, and Park. That makes 11 gears. (Can't count Neutral, since that is the absence of gears) That being said, I am used to ignoring claims like that, though he was right about the purpose of the A618."

I think you're looking at 9. You can't count park as a gear. And neither is Overdrive a true gear.

Also it's really the ratios in the transfer case that makes the deference

I've heard you can buy a kit to split your 3 of your gears in your A500 or A518, so technically speaking you’re looking at a 6 speed with O/D.
