[knightowl73]

I figured the guys in the 60-66 forums would have better results but for some reason I cant post in the older truck forums so ill try here.

A buddy is giving me a 283 from a 67 impala that runs so i fgure why not, since i wont be towing nothin and it should give good enough gas mileage that i wont have to worry about getting another lil truck to run around in, so id think twice about sellin it.

I do definately like the lumpy cam thats n my truck now, so can you make a 283 lumpy, I mean what cam numbers would I be lookin for? I was thinkin a summit cam

noisy gear drive?

centerbolt 305 heads? I have some already, $110 for a dual-plane intake on ebay and 500 edelbrock should be fine or maybe even just tbi it with tb from v6

would it be powerful enough to run a700r4, im concerned with the th400 taking too much power to run, heard they take a bit more horses to run. also adding a hd trans cooler.

all this and ill be running a 2.73 rear gear with a 295/50-15 rear tire

what do you guys think? it there anythiing im not touching? besides elec fans maybe to free up some horsies, i already have 2 1/4" dual pipes out the back and hooker headers
