Howdy everybody, I'm new here and this is my first post.

I own a 1984 Corvette, it's not exactly a "hot rod" but I was referred here from someone I know who said you guys are some of the most knowledge people on the web, so I figure I can ask a few questions.

The car is getting a frame of restoration right now, and I'm going to a buy a crate engine for it. I've been looking at the ZZ383 and purchasing a Richmond six speed, along with a Dana 44 to replace the weak 36 that came with the auto transmission.

What do you guys think about this? Is there a better engine for a car that is going to receive a street setup? Any suggestions, comments, concerns, etc are welcome.
