Does anyone build these transmissions to take say 500Hp. Me and a buddy were thinking about putting the continental drivetrain in the back of his 84 s10. But having trouble finding transmission support.

I believe they are the same transmission as an svt escort or some Taurus SHO's. But that is 100% speculation.

its similar to the 96-99 SHO trans, and they're all not all that different from the V6 base taurus trans.
which is good and bad. there are some parts, but the V8 versions are already beefed up to handle the V8.
some people do build them up, but i have never heard of any at that level.
a "lot" for that trans is like 300 hp.

there are a few V8 5 speed SHO swaps, but the SHO mtx 5 speed is not a stellar piece either.
usually losing 3rd gear at or about 350 lb-ft of torque.
