it's just for the next time the engine gets tired.
most times a guy while build just one engine for his ride.
others are going to need four or five a summer!

i'm worried about what goes in your tranny ... so you should be too!!!
stock clt and plates are no match for all those ponnies. lol
if you had a 400 th it would have been closer
but a good aftermarket stage 2 or 3 tranny would be the best bet
it is possible to get what you need to build yours , but it needs to be done perfectly
really easy if you can get your hands on full kit and you have the tools to compress the piston springs, a set of small seal picks, the bushings need paticular tools usually one for removal and sometimes one for installing. did i mention the manuel for your tranny to help you if you get mixed up. a place to clean and then assemble a perfectly clean tranny.

 

A 383 is typically a .030 over 350 (4.030") witha 3.75" stroke. That gives 382.667" engine.

 

dam, my expenses just got a lot bigger. looks like im waiting a little longer to do this work to my car

 

Hey just pick away at it. I've been at it off and on for 37 yrs! Almost done now!

 

haha nice. your car looks awesome by the way. i found this webisite monster-transmissions.com. they have a remanufactured th350 thats rated up to 550 hp! and for only 1k. i might be able to pull this off!

 

DONE. never

 

I would by a Monster tranny. I almost did acually but went four speed instead.

 

i was just looking and they also have th400's stage 2 rated up to 500 hp, for 1,100. i am strongly considering changing to a 4 speed

 

mmmm nice stuff for sure!!!
but ... keep in mind what you want as a car in the end.
if you put too much power in the thing you should plan on diff upgrades , axles , frame connectors , suspention mods , tires , wheel wells , etc ...

 

Was your second sentence in reference to the first one? The T400 is a three speed.
