Transmission Jerico or G force

I have a somewhat unusual situation, I have 2 race cars, but only 1 transmission! I have a low 10 second 3100 lb Ford Fairmont bracket car with a 428 Cobra Jet engine, and a M/Stock 85 Mustang with a carbed 302. I use an older Jerico DR4 4 speed, that I bought used about 10 years ago. I ran the Jerico in the Fairmont for 6 seasons, and the past 2 seasons, the trans had been in the Stocker. I just put the trans back in the Fairmont last and so far, I have had absolutlely ZERO breakage of the transmission. I do know a few higher classed S/S cars that have broken a fair bit of Jerico pieces over the years, but we are talking a 8 second SS/A Cuda, and a 3550 lb 66 Chevelle 396- 375HP SS/F car. For a Stocker, even an A/S car, I think the Jerico, and most importantly, the right clutch, is plenty good enough. The SS/A car switched to a G Force a few years ago, and he feels the GForce is stronger, but it has also broken a few parts.
