Please, NO! The early 440/Hemi 833's and these are NOT the same! The overdrive swap reduces the torque capability dramatically. These were NEVER factory offered with anything stronger than a 305. They were not available with 350's or 454's because they simply will not hold up to the torque.

If you ever swap in a 350 you will need to swap out the trans unless you drive very light footed, in which case why did you put in a 350?
