Looking for guidance for a LA 408 drop in Crate for a 4 speed set up

[FOR SALE] - MRL 318 Mini Stroker 356hp

As words of advice, please take a look at the stroker MRL is selling. You are close enough to take advantage of this deal and it will check the boxes you need. Torque is what is going to spin the tires, you don't need a nasty idle with modern camshafts, and you will have some money to do other improvements.

If it wasn't across the country I would easily get this motor over 383 I plan on dropping in. MRL is the only company I would purchase a drop in engine from, otherwise I do my own final assembly.

With the left over funds you can:
* Upgrade the suspension with a PST kit
* Upgrade the brakes
* Fi-Tech EFI (Just did this on a buddies Dart, he has driven the car more in 3 months than 4 years)
* Aluminum Radiator! Recommend this on every car now
* Denso Alternator from Mancini (Same dart as above, fixed a lot of electrical problems)

BTW, the said Dart has a 380hp Magnum 360 crate engine, I bet he doesn't use 350hp of it, he likes all the torque down low.
