I'm likin' the whole thing. I'll have to e-mail my brother the link to this thread. He had a '69 with the 383 that he balanced and blue-printed, slap-stick Torqueflite, dual exhaust with turbo mufflers. Had issues with the Carter carb, found a Holey and we rebuilt it. Shifting manually, it'd catch rubber on the 1-2 upshift. If it were mine, I'd throw Bilstein shocks on it, maybe a pinion snubber for those jackrabbit starts, and a rear sway bar to tighten up the handling. Front disc brakes would help a lot. Set up for drag racing with the 6-cyl bars and 80/20s on the front works great at the drag strip but sucks for safe street rapid transit
