How about this tranny in my puller???

First guys I want to say please don't laugh at this idea because I honestly think it will work, and I know none of you know me and I think of some silly stuff. Here goes. If I can't run a manual without a blowproof bellhousing that means hello automatic.

I was thinking about using a g.m powerglide this a 2 speed tranny with a 1.76 first gear and drive. I can use a J.W blowproof bellhousing to adapt the powerglide to BB chrysler boltpattern. Then use a divorced NP 205 transfer case. You can build these trannys to be indestructable. Dragracers have been using them for years putting 1500+ hp to them. Billet shafts and the best parts will be used. As far as converter I'm not sure yet. I'm surprised nobody has done this yet in a 2wd, I think it would be awesome for dragracing a diesel as it would keep the motor at a constant rpm longer right in the powerband. I think the first 10 sec diesel ram will have a powerglide in it, laugh now if you'd like.

will it work in a pulling truck??
