Re: another small block/transmission swap question...

I'm not sure just what you are referring to in the link, but there was a member's post just the past couple days, that converted their 3OTT to an auto shift column. I'll have to see if I can find it.

If your radiator is the typical smaller I6 radiator, you will have to upgrade to the V8 radiator. Those can be found with the trans cooler built in. Your bellhousing crossmember will need to be removed. If your 283 doesn't already have one, I would go with the short water pump. That is what the '63-'72 trucks came with. That way you can just use original style pulleys and accessory brackets, radiator hoses, fan shroud, etc.
