That doesn't surprise me. The high pressure die cast cases were always pretty decent.

I wonder if we would have ever got the 68rfe if the 46rh came out with the knowledge we have today. Clutch stacking, triple disc TC's, higher line pressure, 300M shafts, etc...
One would have to think so... The entire automotive industry is primarily centered around fuel economy at the end of the day to meet standards. Easier to stay in a desired RPM range for operating efficiency with six gears versus four. Same thing happened to manual transmissions.

Realistically, the industry is predicated upon cost versus performance and necessary efficiency required.

I guess in ones heart of hearts, if you attempted to do so, imagine the efficiency gained by swapping an auto or manual from a ‘18 in to an ‘89 first gen.

If I was just buying a VB to bolt in and be done I would buy a RevMax from what I've seen and add the metal filter screw.

Revmax has done some impressive things with their 2wd drag truck running a 68RFE.

I wish FirePunk offered 68VB's as I already have their EFI & TCM tuning and love all of it.
