Gary I was told that the engine in the A is a 383,but I have yet to find out if it actually is.My plans were to get a fairly stock 350 so that I can get the car running while I then build the 383 over a longer period of time as from how it is performing I think there maybe some internal issues.My goal is to have a reliable fun little car that I am happy to drive any distance with the minimal of issues.Am now also looking at changing the 700R4 out to a turbo 350 as I am not happy with the stiff shift changes that i get between 1-2nd.As for Pat and Jerry am open to suggestions on what you might be able to come up with as I would assume it is a pretty tough market on seeing some of these prices on the crates with warranties.
