I am going to mill the heads and what not to raise compression. I will be using the #'s matching 383 block from my car. It won't see a whole lot of drag time but I want the power to put the typical ricer in his place.

My only issue is knowing how the 4 speed works with all of this cause I have no experience on that side of the house. As I said before, I am probably going to do a gear swap. I have an 8 3/4 not a dana.

The 8 3/4" is a sturdy unit, very good alternative to the Dana. Lightweight, as compared to the Dana but just as strong to a point. For what you are doing, it will be MORE that adequate.
The 4 throw is nearly bulletproof, but you will
NEED to know how to SHIFT it with authority to be
consistent. As far as the "ricers" are concerned
with, word of caution - pick your fights (races)
wisely. Just because a import has less cubes
does not mean that they aren,t packing a HUGE
PUNCH.
