400 SBC
ok, ive gotten my hands on a 400 SBC, I want to build and put in my 85 this winter, it currently has an 87 MAF TPI on it's 305.
I want to hear from people who have DONE this, on what a good combo is. I do not want to make JUST 300 hp, but I don't want to go carb.
What options do I have to make this work and slam me into the seat with raw power??
I would LIKE to preserve the TPI if I can, Also, I do have a T-5, I want to stay manual, so what trans options do I have that can stand up to this thing (5 spd or more)
I have searched, and every thread turns into a heated debate with skewed info every where, lets attempt to not do that please? this is also being posted in the swap section
