What transmission for a 383 Magnum?

[LeAnne]

I have a chance to get a 71 Road Runner with a 383 Magnum but there is no transmission in it. Owner says it was originally an auto but has been converted to a 4-speed. What do I need for a transmission to hook up to a 383, and any estimate on cost?

depends on what you need. Obviously a 833 trans, shifter, pistol grip handle. does it have the bellhousing and clutch in it still? If not you'll need those along with the Z bar and linkage. could run into a sum of money. An automatic probably would be cheaper.
