Re David C's manifold intake manifold points, the Weiand design has got to be more modern (or perhaps less aged...) than the original mopar one? And I can't think why efi would need the help with fuel-atomisation of small primary bores. Am happy to be educated though if anyone knows different! Sniper is wet flow so surely avoiding the puddling of fuel in the intake matters more? The divided plenum should work ok - mine runs fine with a stock intake.
Re the transmission: I want my 411/3 to be easily(ish) returnable to stock in the future (dunno why, it just seemed important!) so part of the GM200-4R appeal is it's relatively small size. It's controlled via throttle-valve cable (like a TH700-R4) so no additional electronics to worry about - apart from TC lock-up. GM transmissions run by the ecu startd with the 4L60E and it's successors. Great trans, had one in my '95 Corvette. Additionally the 200's got a deep first gear and a lo-o-o-ong top gear. And thank you for not shouting at me for the idea of a foreign trans.....If I could find a separate conventional overdrive that fitted (not a Gear Vendors type) that would take the 383 torque then that would appeal too. Anyone got any thoughts?
You can all wake up now......
