How about some suggestions for a trans to put behind it?

Go with BB and use a 400 trans. JMO

1. So what was it originally?

2. What do you want it to be when you're done?

3. How long do you plan to keep it?

4. What do you think you can sell it for after you put all that $$$ into it?

i got almost the exact same setup for my 383 for my 66 el camino i dont know how ur gonna pull off 9 to 1 compression mine is 10.5-1 as for a trans cant go wrong with an ol reliable 3 speed automatic 350 or 400 there both cheap easy to rebuild and reliable and can take a beating
