I am new here and I am sure that this topic has been covered a lot.
I looked back as far as I could and found a little bit of info but really need some more.

I'm sure that a lot of you out there have done this conversion already.
How about posting a few links for me to places with kits, install reports, etc.
Also, anything you may wish to share, such as tips and warnings, etc.

We have a 70 Chevelle with a 330 (punched out 307) in it and are starting to line up a 383 stroker for it. We will be running 3.73's in the rear and will want a manual tranny with an OD so we don't pay too much to the Arabs.

You can email me privately also if you wish.

Thanks a lot.

mcattac,

If you are looking for an OD tranny, The Tremec TKO 5-speeds are something you should look into.

Here's a web site that will give you a lot of good info about the TKO's and most important a lot of information about the installation for your 70 Chevelle.
