I have a 383 big block from 1969 came with auto tranny but i dont have it. I want to do the same thing make mine a 4 speed tranny, my engine is forged crank any issues for me you guys think. Do I have to balance my engine internally for a manual? thanks AKcharger sorry for adding to your post but I want to do same thing as you did not want to add another post if we wanted to do same thing.

MORFF -  Forged crank 383s use a neutral balance flywheel. You should be able to bolt on and go without any issues.

Hi guys

Project is moving along, I scored a complete 4 speed console that that solves the trim issues. Target date in late Sept/early Oct. Right now I'm getting all the parts ready and will drive car from storge to pals house, leave it there while we do the conversion over a few weekends then back into storage, can't wait!
