Re: 383 BuildUp
Those truck heads are a bad choice. Around 7 to 1 compression, and poor flow.

A decent cam and heads and headers with a Performer RPM intake will get over 400hp.

Re: Gear box worn
Back in the 70s we had a 1965 D100 that the steering box quit working. The recirculating balls were worn so small that they wouldn't drive any more.
