383 stroker - manual or auto trans? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I would like some input from the forum on whether I should keep my TH-350 automatic transmission NP205 transfer case set-up for my 383 powered 1971 swb 4x4 chevy project build, or should I swap it out for a 4 speed granny transmission or a 5 speed custom build with my current NP205 transfer case? I already have the TH350 rebuilt and ready to go, but I am having second thoughts thinking a manual on the floor will be more fun.

I am also looking at adding some torque arms to my custom 71 4x4 frame. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I recommend manual. Just my opinion but I had a 700R4 in my truck that i used for years. i do not have it back on the road yet but i already bought a muncie 4 speed and cant wait to go drive the manual. good luck with yours.
