I already did. The tranny went out while I was towing a car about 50 miles from home. Get this -- it still had second gear so I drove an hour with the engine absolutely SCREAMING at 5000rpm. Even with all the miles on it, that old 350 never missed a beat or overheated, and started up just like always the next morning. Small block Chevy's are amazing.
So anyway, the tranny was rebuilt with the 383 in mind about 6 months ago. Installed a shift kit too.
