i have a 67 283 with 1.94 heads , th350 and 3.55 gear , i picked up a complete ( flywheel to yok ) rebiuld saginaw 4 speed 3925656 ,no lines ,10 spline , for 200$ , i know nobody likes them , but , i want a stick, my Q is , i think my motor is about 300 hp ,( if you go on googles video and type in 1963 acadian you can see the burn out with line lock 120 ft.) will the saginaw hold up , also can i use a hydraulic throw out bearing instead of using all the linkage.
thanks for any help

Whats in your 283 that makes you think its 300hp? The sag should be fine up to about 300 ft lbs of tq..

i`m going to say stock is 180 hp , when i got the car , it had a torquer intake with a 625 dp , when driving with a 3.08 open , it would take off like a bullet at 2500rpm , i took off the intake and carb , it was painted on the inside , i put an EPS and a 600 on it , it has a little more bottom end , when talking to the guy i bot it from, he said his brother built the motor and boared it out , i took that with a grain of salt, but now when i drve it , you can really feel the power after 2000 rpm as good as my 85 mustang ( stock 302) or better.
