Newbie: Welcome aboard, these guys are gooood! For the 350 many books and mag. on that motor. Mine is rebuilt sitting on stand for a couple more years. Always had great luck with Summit Racing and Edelbrock, my motor has alot of Edelbrock on it, I like the just bolt it on stuff. As for trans. 350, 400, or the 700(I think has overdrive). Good luck and bring the questions on. popcorn The Truth is Out There (Read and dig)
