Hey I'm new to the site and I just found a really nice saginaw for $350. I'm in process of a frame up on a '68 C-10 and want to get rid of my old 307 with 3 spd manual. I plan on putting in a 383 stoker with about 400 hp. Is this tranny going to hold up to this kind of horsepower? Im not gonna race it or anything, just a toy I drive on wknds. It's not going to be a show truck, its my first rebuild. Any help on what trans all you guys use would be great!!
