The A-body cars weight about the same. I have a 67. It is a T700R4 car with a
373 rear gear. I don't think you will ever be disappointed with more power. I
am now thinking, with gas being $3, a 383 or as close to 400 ci is my favorite
combination. It comes out of the hole HARD!
I try to think as if this will not be the last motor for this car anyway. So, I
did the work to have a 40 year old car that looked new. Much better than a
20-20 car. 20 feet away or 20 mile per hour, that is.
If money were not a problem the LS 364 (carburated) 5-speed or a Engine shop
427 small block is my dream setup.

Mike, Its an automatic, However the trans is'nt decided just yet. A friend of
mine is going to build me a 700r4. I guess what Iam really asking is. How many
of you guys have put a 350 in your 70 chevelle, And wished you had gone with
something with a little more power.

I have a 383. It is mostly used parts like the crank is a real 400 that was
turned down and nitrided. Here is the deal in my mind and I was thinking about
it last night on any new motor I use from now on. The cylinder heads is where
the money should be spent. 350 or 383, having some bowl work make a hugh
difference.
Is this a automatic or standard? Do you want a something that revs and stays
there or the torque that feels like the framing is bending?
I like the 383 but it's externally balanced, meaning mine was balanced with a
flexplate. I was thinking of switching to a 5-speed but that may canse some
balancing problems but I don't know.
I may not have helped.

Iam trying to decide on an engine for my 70 chevelle. I really like the looks
of the 350/320hp turn key that Jegs has. But then again, should I go the extra
step and get the 383 stroker. Is anybody running either of these two motors in
a 70. And if so can you tell me how you like it. And also, does anybody know
who has the best deals on either of these two crate motors. Thanks so much for
your input. Bob.
