    so the 700/r4 and the 3.73 gear setup is whats is pretty much need to be able to drive the car and get some power down at the track.. now as far as the engine is concerned im goin with a 383..i just found out that my block is a 2 bolt block..and since its bored .30 ova already, i dont wanna have issues with overheating if it has to be bored more..

    So NOW ladies and gents.. if i want a reliable 383 motor should, can i keep my stock 350 heads.. and buy a short block to save a lil cash right off. and get better heads later.. or is that a no go.. and should i buy a engine rebuild kit, or just take it to a shop and have em do it? any suggestion of sites that em for a good price.. to tell the truth right now as this point in time i have 1800..and im tryna get my car to run soon..
