Just picked up a real nice 383, or what I hope is a nice 383 anyway. We'll find out soon I guess. I want to mate it to the A-833. I have a few questions for all the brains at this place.
What bellhousing do I need?
Will my driveshaft work with this?
It has an oil pan, but not from an A-Body, i know the Abodies had an identation in them to clear the steering linkage. Where can I find one of these things for a big block?
It doesn't have a carb, is there a suggested carb? I was told the 383 has a mild cam in it.
I have a spool mount kframe out of a 73 or 74, a 1969 340 kframe, and a 1969 383 kframe...Which would be the most logical to use with front discs? I have all the hardware (new) for the spool mount but I'm not sure how I would mount a big block on there.
Anything else major I'm overlooking?
If anyone has bb bellhousing, or motor mounts I might need for sale, let me know. I'm looking at ebay for stuff right now, but I rather put my money back into this site.
I'm gettin really excited, maybe one of my darts will see the road sooner than I thought if this engine is as good as reported.
Thanks!
