Re: 383 big block help
Need more info... Like what gear ratio you have. How are you using your truck? ARE you using stock components? What is your budget if not going for a stock rebuild?

Re: 383 big block help
Man I wish I could tell you more but I have no idea what the gear ratio is in the rear end. I just know its from a car. And I probably just drive it around town and things like that. Everything else is stock on the truck. Like I said I will be using a 3 speed from a 70 d100. I hope this helps.

Sir
If you use a Thermo Silicone Fan Drive and the matching Cooling Fan
you will no longer use the HP Engery to spin what you are currently using.
Because of this un-used HP the vehicle will perform better and the MPG
data will improve.
