    383 Stroker

    I figured I would start another thread for updates on my engine and other things. The drama can stay in the other thread.

    I can't thank Jim at Authentic enough for getting my engine back to me so we could get it in and set up before the Dells. Most of the hard stuff is done. Now to finish it up and get it running.

    Took it for it first cruise today with both cars deff runs very good. Can't wait till some wide open runs, Jim did a fantastic job and is very thorough and quick with a wrench to help with either me or mark or words of advice.

    fwiw, I recall you saying it was around 2800-3000 rpm stall back at the time...

    Given the cam and the relative gearing, a T/C b/w 2200-2400 should work fine (in theory); having trouble dialing in the mechanical secondary carb w/ too low a stall t/c?

    Who said anything about a 700R4?

    The 4L80e shares some of the same internals as the TH400.

    There is nothing like OD for the trips or hwy cruising! I'll never go back to steep gears and 3spd automatic. Fuk that!
