Hell all. First, a big thank you to everyone on the forum that has answered a hundred questions. I know I've been all over the place regarding engines and rear gears. It was all a process in making some final decisions. Yes I'm going with the 383. I've already bought a 1970 383 out of a Dodge Monaco. While there are a number of 727 options available locally, there is one idea I cant get past. I've always had the vision of having a 4 speed car. I've read some articles, and have been told it's a lot of work and considerable money. My car is a 1970 318/904 on the column. The swap to a 383/727 is pretty straight forward. I just have to get my head wrapped around what's all involved in a 4 speed install. Any advice is appreciated. There is an option to just go 727 for a year or two while getting the 4 speed parts together.
