No 350 in that year. Is it an O/D? If yes than it is a 700. I think there may have been 200's(3-speed) in '82 but I'm not sure about '83. Anyways, they like to toast the Directs (3rd) too!

 

I CHECKED THE TECNICAL DATA ON THIS PAGE AND 4 MY TRANS IT SAYS M5,A4 IF THAT HELPS ANY I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT IT HAD THE TURBO 350 NOW IM COURIOUS TO WHAT I REALLY HAVE AND YES IT HAS THE DRIVE AND OVERDRIVE GEARS ALSO THE 1 AND 2
