It is an original 383, 4 speed convertible car but it was missing the big block and 4 speed and the big rear end. Anyhow, everything on my has been rebuilt or is new. Had the tranny rebuilt, got all the rest of my 4 speed stuff from Brewers. Had the 3:23 suregrip rebuilt, etc. My car acts exactly like Tim's. I originally thought the clutch was the problem and replaced it (new fly wheel). I recently filmed the rear in slow motion with my phone in my driveway and the leaf springs jump up and down pretty violently which is what the shaking is. I was about to buy new springs when I read Tim's other post and saw that he tried that and it didn't help so I don't know what to do. I put this car together myself and it's super frustrating and embarrassing that I have to take off with no acceleration until the car is rolling or it will shake pretty badly. Someone else must have had this problem before.



Don't think we discussed this but does your car also shake in reverse or from a 2nd gear take off?
