Different transmission w/383 Stroker


Trueblue

Recommended Posts

I will preface this question by stating that I know absolutely nothing about mechanics.

Just starting to do research on possibly getting more horsepower out of a 350 motor, going to a 383 Stroker with about 450 hp.

Would like to do a 3.55 Posi rear end as well.

So, my question is will I also need a different transmission than the stock 350 that is in the car?

This will be a daily driver, not a racing car, but looking for more punch and horsepower to enjoy. Not a car that I plan on driving cross country.

I'm running a 383 in my 1971 Monte Carlo. I also have a 3.55 rear gear. My transmission is a 350 turbo that was rebuilt about 20 some years ago. I have not had any problems, but I do not drive the car that often anymore. I had been running a strong 355 for up until the 383 was installed about 9 years ago. I did drive the car much more often. I also was not afraid to run it hard.
