Those guys are morons. But looking at the torque specs you looked up it should take it. But the low rpm is kind of worrying.

I find their videos entertaining, but some of the the things they do are very questionable. I wouldn't follow much if any of their advice on fabrication or building engines. Red Beard's Garage has some good walk throughs for building engins.

well i think i have 2 options if k want to do it like this.
1. gear the rpm from the engine to the gearbox down and after the gearbox up again
2. leave it as is, run the gearbox 8 times as fast as i should and weld some plates around it in case it explodes

The loss of available power would be a drag. I would rather look for a box that can take the RPM.
