Is a 283 and a th350 worth anything? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If I decide to put the 4.8 in the 67 is the 283 and the th350 worth anything? The motor runs good and the trans shifts fine, both have been rebuilt and I have the paper work but I will not need them laying around.
Thanks

Yes The 283 Is A Hard Motor To Come By Where I Live And Are Strong Motors

Sure they are. Just figger out how much you want for them, run an ad in your local paper and wait. Best way to sell them would be for a potential buyer to hear it run. If you pull 'em out, that may be hard to do.

How would a 283 perform if you put say a procharger or twin turbos?

not as good as a 350 in comparable shape.
