    Hello all
    About 12 years ago I replaced my 283 with a 350/350 in my 1965 fleetside. It has gotten tired now (like me!) and I'm looking at drop-in complete crate engines. I would like to keep the tranny but would be open to suggestions about a trans change. Do you know off a reliable crate engine company? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Tap:)
