Yea I fig will have to do some fab work and I will post up some pics later this eve. Also will have this 383 for sale when pull out

I'd run the 383 before the 396 any day. Your talking 13 cubic inches... 396 is a SMALL big block.

Guys Im trying to dig thru all the form postings to gather some info. I just bought a 1991 4runner with the gutless 3.0 in it. I have a full roller fresh rebuild 350 bored 60 over from a project I just sold. The cam is very mild to stock and
I have my choice of a 1998 spider fuel injection system, 1993 throttle body, or carb set up. I will be running a 4l60e for the tranny a 431 transfer. I'm going to put a 3" body lift and beef up the suspension a little. I would like to know of any hang ups you ran into, drive shaft lengths(same as a 700R4)? Will shorty headers work or do I have to use the ones from A-adapters. I know i will have to use ladder bars or just build a 4 link. Main thing is the quick turn around from engine pull to 350 in a and running. i will have it running on my stand before putting it in so I'm mainly looking for the bolt up info and If I can get the drive shafts pre made that wopuld be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Trans brake? You drag racing it? trans brake....big tires...broken axles.

It might be easier to go full hydraulic on your steering. Hoses flex much easier than a steering rod.
