67 283sbc question

[kingzj]

Ok fairly new to the c10 scene. I have a 67 lwb fleet with a 283 and a 3speed manual "3 on the tree"

Now the engine is fairly fresh. It has an edlebrock performer intake and 500 cfm carb manual choke (new) It also has been converted to Hei. Summit long tube coated headers into mufflers. The engine runs very well and doesn't hesitate and seems very smooth.

My question is, is it normal with the 3speed and 283 to have to feather the clutch a lot to get moving? It just seems that I have no torque so I am wondering if it is a gearing issue with the 3speed. Once the truck is moving all is good and everything seems fine. Take offs from a stop sign just seem to really bogg down the engine drastically.
