I have a new BP383 in my 1979 Corvette. The installation went smoothly, start up was trouble free. Instructions are included with your engine and are easy to follow. Dyno sheet HP and Tq. numbers exceed expectations. Idle is nice and lumpy but has enough vacuum for accessories and brakes. Driving manners are exceptional. BP 383 mated to a Tremec TKX 5 Speed with 3:55 rear gears.
