I'm still around. I upgraded my computer with a new motherboard and processor, then the operating system wouldn't load. Lost most everything on it and still finding stuff to re-install. I had a short 3 day stay in the Bremerton Naval Hospital in late September for surgery, all is well now.

This weekend, I was able to dyno this motor. As far as I know, except for the crank, rods and pistons (which make it the 383 it is), all the internals of the motor are stock 350 parts. I need to do a bit more tuning, but I got some good power and torque to the rear wheels... 248 hp @ 4400 rpm 348 lb...

A little more work this weekend. This in preparation for T56 transmission in the near (or not so near) future. From a friend, I acquired a scatter-shield (bell housing) and T56 adapter plate to mount to the rear of the motor. Probably overkill for now, but it will make the six-speed swap so much eas...

I haven't seen it...

Checked both e-mail and PM

Both of mine were gone, except the info. New pics uploaded...

I can't vouch for how well they work, but the concept is good. These guys have products to combine batteries for starting, yet isolate the backup battery when under normal use. A few different types of products, even a couple for high power audio, which I linked below. http://www.hellroaring.com/aud...
