tranny question
Well im about to put in a 383 stroker with 450 hp, and a few poeple told me the stock th350 tranny wont hold up.
is this true?
also i bought a 600 cfm holly carb and was told bymy bossthat it will run the stroker fine.
is this also true?

I'm sure others here who are better informed will chip in but I would have thought that a 600cfm carb would be on the small side for a 383 stroker. I have a 350 putting out 430hp and have an 800cfm carb on it.

hmm alright.
thats upseting, i work at a auto parts store and my bozz said the 600 would be fine on the 383, so i bought it and stuck it on my 350 for now.
so i guess i will have to buy another carb

Carb is going to be too small. You will most likely need a 750. As far a trans if the th350 is in good shape it should hold up. A th350 will hold up to your engine it will just depend how much time yours has left.

Normally 600 VS are used for mild 350s.
Which Holley 600 & what's the intake? AFR did a 383 w/ a Holley 600 DP w/ about 420 HP.
So far it sounds like a 650 DP would be better for your setup or 750VS.
