Got some cleaning/painting and wiring cleanup to do before dropping the 383 in. The new owner of the 355 takes her bye-bye tonight!

That's gonna be fun with a standard shift behind it.

Let us know what difference the super's have over the flow 40's you got. I wanna know what kinda sound difference they have.

swb85 · 06-08-2007, 03:25 PM

Will do! I plan on posting a thread with lots of pics & a couple vids when it's all done & broken in.

knightlife · 06-08-2007, 03:50 PM

hellz yea bro...glad to hear you are getting around to gettin that motor in! I hope to see a burnout video when ur done

BowTieMan · 06-08-2007, 05:31 PM

Thats going to be fun with the 4 speed

And I had regular 40 flow's and I changed them out to the super 40's and the supers sound so much meaner and alot louder.
