Anyway so what is the strongest one? somethign strong enough for a bbc or something of the like. Im not very well versed in trannys which is kinda why im asking you guys

If you put one into a car that doesn't have the electroinics to control the CAGS, then it doesn't do anything. Shifts normally as if CAGS wasn't there.
Hooking up a mechanical (cable driven) speedo is just that, mechanical. Jags That Run used to sell an adapter to put a cable-drive speedo in one, so it's possible.
The T-56 design seems to be strong enough to handle a 488 CID 10-cylinder.... it'll probably work OK with most V8s.
