Looking into an gm a833 4x4 transmission but I’m not sure if it’s a good to run with 350. I’m reading that under a little more power they tend to not be that great of a transmission. Would it be better to go with something like an nv3500 or 4500? What would also be a good price range of the a833 with the bell housing, transfer case and crossmember?

I’d say A833s and nv3500s are pretty scarce. And 4500s are not cheap either.
Never had a 833 but sounds cool.
3500 getrag gets a bad rap but they were bulletproof for me. A lot of miles.
But I’d rather have a 4500 if putting some decent power in front of it.
