I wouldn't worry about the Aluminum case A833 breaking behind a V8. The case is a much thicker casting than the CI unit. Chrysler used the Aluminum case behind the B400 & 440. You will not break one easily. The heavier wall AL casting makes the external dimensions larger and is probably some of what caused the shifter to not fit well in your 1966.

The only mild problem with the AL cases is there's no bushing on the floating countershaft so they tend to wear at that point. You can get them align bored and bushed by a competent machinist and I highly recommend that operation on an AL case A833 that you intend to drive a lot.
