383 install in A-100

[BobK]

I had the list of parts needed to do this swap years ago. Is there anyone that still has a copy? Any A-100 clubs still active?

Thanks

I subscribed to Vintage Vans a few years ago...still a member, but it is very quiet there as far as restoration goes. More of a place to announce the latest offerings for sale online from ebag and Craigslip.

You could go and do a small block stroker like I have done....based on a 360
BluePrint Engines out of Nebraska build them as a crate engine.

The A-100 pickup with a slant & auto, has a big block 727 in it. There is an adapter plate to fit the slant to the trans. I was a member of an A-100 club in MD and they had the info on putting the B engine into an A-100 using mostly stock parts. I have lost my copy of it, and don't know if they are still around.

Got any recent pictures of you A100 that you can share here Bob?

Have a read of this thread @BobK

383 big block conversion - 440 big block swap

Not exactly what you described, but a lot of good information here.
