Man, with all of that I would go ahead and do the swap to a 2004R, take advantage of the HP bump with the deeper 1st gear and the overdrive. Whats annother $1k?

Need cam info for HP numbers. Those are big heads for a 350. I hope you are planning on turning some high rpms and have a big cam planned.

i have run engines similar to that with a stought but streetable 280 magnum cam. you can have that 350 turbo beefed and built and it will hold up to that motor but you will need to use a stahl convertor to avoid it dieing at stop signs and or lurching, I used a tci 3000-3500 stahl with similar set up.

on a street car, they're big for 383 ... careful, wrong combo of even good parts'll get trounced on street by a stock ZZ4
