FS 1958 283 and tranny - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dan42 · 11-14-2007, 09:59 PM

I have a 1958 283 with the original 2 barrel carb, with corvette valve covers (they are chipped on the side). Includes SM 420 4 speed transmission. I'm not sure what the heads are, I never pulled the valve covers - it was only in the truck for a few monthes until I pulled it. Motor ran pretty good when I pulled it out of my '67. $200.00
CORRECTION - I just looked at the block number and it's a block from somewhere between '61 and '64 - so I don't think it's a '58.

You are correct, Looks like it is a 61-64 283. If you want to sell just the valve covers, let me know.

dan42 · 11-16-2007, 01:05 AM

Thanks, but I have someone interested in them already - I'm gonna pull one of the covers tomorrow and see what the heads came off of. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

This looks like an older engine than 1961. If you notice where the bolts are in the valve covers, they are not straight across the covers, but a little closer together on the upper side. I believe 1958 was the last year for this. I would say that at least the heads are 1958 or earlier.

olblue60@aol.com · 11-16-2007, 07:30 AM

I just checked the block #s. Its 61-64. Could be a mix of parts.

BurnoutNova · 11-16-2007, 08:55 AM

the heads may be from somthing older... they ARE the early style heads, so maybe from a 283 or 265

dan42 · 11-16-2007, 09:51 AM

I'll get the numbers today and post them.

dan42 · 11-16-2007, 05:02 PM

Here's pictures of the heads -

Heads, 1958-59, 283 truck heads.

DieselEater · 11-16-2007, 07:47 PM

I'm interested in just the tranny.....Have you driven with it under power situations in all gears???

How much to 81082 if it checks out?

A............

dan42 · 11-16-2007, 08:48 PM

Yeah, all the gears are fine, there seems to be a fair amount of slop in it, but it didn't pop out of any gears or make any strange noises. Boy, shipping will probably be more than it's worth - the thing is a boat anchor You're probably talking a couple hundred dollars but if you're interested I'll check it out for you.
