A833OD inspection results... thoughts?

Its great isnt it? I would love to have a close ratio 4 speed, or better yet a passon overdrive trans. The reality is the close ratio 4 speeds dont just show up everywhere out here. This is truck country, not muscle car country in west Texas. I got lucky to find an F body A833 that was in decent shape. I am venturing that may be the same case with the OP since he lives in Alaska. Hot roddy stuff probably isnt very popular up there either therefore its pretty rare and unusual to find one, so you run whatcha can find.

I am glad the gear combo i am going to run, and the O/D box will wake up a mild 318. I want to build a 408 stroker. I got the block, rods and heads to do it, however doing a bolt on/rattlecan rebuild on my 318 which actually ran decent and didnt smoke will allow me to put that stroker money elsewhere in my build to get it further along. At least the gears and trans ratios will wake up that 318, and i can have a bit of fun with it while i build up a stroker, and save for a "non hooker" transmission.
