I ran a C in a 40 cpe for several years with both flathead and Olds engines, actually used the cpe to pull our dirt track race car and never had a problem and that was before there were rebuilders around. I now have two that have been improved and three that were good originals to begin with. These things were designed for the Fords they are in with up to 100 hp engines. When you go above that and make hard shifts, things can happen or when you let the lub get too low.
