Blueprint 383 stroker first start video
Man what a journey this has been. Of the entire ordeal of pulling an engine/trans and replacing it, the hardest part was installing the shifter (4 speed). I can't wait to drive it!

I left the 4 speed Super T-10 in the car when I pulled my 78 L-82 for the rebuild.....I think it is much easier that way.
Also, what make is the 4 speed in an 81? Super T-10 or Saginaw? Either way, I would be careful with a SBC V8 with some serious power versu the stock motor. I always roll into the throttle on my 78 L-82 355 now....don't want to break anything....

Super T-10 was OEM rated to about 325 Gross HP...............FYI
It is not as Stout as the Muncie's BUT much better than a Saginaw 4 speed
