Default 383 is in and Home!!!!!!!!!

WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Got the trans issue sorted out (bad torque converter took a **** after 10 miles) Swapped in the new TC and went for a test drive. Open headers are cool for about 10 min after that they quickly begin to suck. I still cant romp on it (new engine breakin) but it is much more than the 4.3 that I had . I am going to start the clean up and get some pics tomorrow. I am so happy with the setup now. It is a vortech 383 carbed 770 street avenger 234 lift cam ,msd digital 6, MSD billett dist. 700r4 with a 2400 stall. I have a 3:23 rear now but I am swapping in a 4:10 and an eaton next week. Cant wait for the 500 mile mark so I can

I'm just curious, any particular reason you decided to go carb'd instead of fuel injected?

Its in an OBS so the the injection sucked. I am going to put some sort of FI on before the procharger. I have not dynoed it with a sniffer but the damn thing was spot on out of the box. The distributor needs a spring change though.
