518??

[RAD1229]

  I was just wondering if I built this 383 that I have if a 518 would bolt to it??

 if it does will the slapstick shifter bolt to it and function properly??

Thanks!

no , the 383 has a larger bellhousing so it will not bolt up without an adapter

   So where should one go about purchasing this adapter??  Right now with the 318 I am content with 3spd 727 but if I go to 383 I would like to have the overdrive option.  its an auto car and I would really hate to convert it to 5spd.  Anyone here on the site have any experience with 518 and adapter to a BB??  Thanks for any input??

Advance adapters may have one for that swap , I have never tired to do it , as I can`t drive an auto

 laughing  yes, I can understand.  But, I have an auto and it looks like I will for a long time.

hey 360,   how do you like the gear venders??

a 383 will tear a A518 apart enless you beef it up because my uncle has taken many out with just a little 318.  and my cousin took alot out with a built 360..so my advice with going 518 is get it built and get it built right.

I will probably end up keeping the 727 with the hopes of one day upgrading it with  possibly gearvendors??? i just know that I am really gonna  want overdrive, but the 3.55's aren't too terrible on the hwy.

 Thanks for the input guys nice to hear some experiences before learning the hard way!
