I put a TCI valave body in one of our team cars, 70 Nova SS 377 small block turbo 400 and it works great. The car is all steel so it isn't light either, not had any issues. Do prefer my Coan over my TCI in my glide for super comp though. Only because its faster on the release. On a regular tree, you'll be fine with TCI.

Good Luck!
