Also take note that your transmission will use a different converter spline 
than the later, more common 727's. Be sure you let your supplier know this 
before you buy something that won't work.

Group: I just purchased a built 383 engine to install in my 1962 Dodge 
Polara 500. The car currently has a 361 so the swap should be relatively 
easy. However, my relative inexperience prompts the following questions:

1. Will the 383 block bolt right up to my stock push button automatic trans 
(it's a 727, correct?) given that I'll be  installing a 2500-3000 
aftermarket stall converter? Anything I need to watch out for? What's the 
best brand of stall converter for my application?

2. The engine probably produces close to 400 hp and I want to add a 200hp 
NOS system (the engine has forged pistons). Will the stock trans, which has 
been recently rebuilt, hold up? (I plan to use the car for the street and 
occassional drag strip use.)

3. I want to install a 3.91 posi. Units of what year will fit? Is my stock 
unit an 8 3/4?

4. I want to install a trans shield or blanket and a drive shaft loop. 
Recommendations? And where might I find them?

5. Anyone have a trans shield or blanket, drive shaft loop, or 3.91 posi 
unit for sale?

6. Will the 383 with a Mopar Performance M1 single plane intake and Holley 
750 dp with NOS plate(?) fit under my hood? If not, what combination of 
intake and carb that will fit do you recommend?

Sorry for the long post.
Thanks a bunch, Rich
