New Muscle for a 67 chevy

So im restoring my chevy pickup, its a c-10 1967 and the original motor in it was a 283 with a 2 speed powerglide. I want to put a 383 stroker motor in it with a 4l60e tranny. How hard would this be to do.

And im trying to decide on a fuel pump. Im thinking of going with the standard 1721 110 gph 6 psi or the victor series 1711 that is 130 gph 13 psi but requires a regulator. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the victor series and get a racing pump???

Re: New Muscle for a 67 chevy

I swaped in a fresh 383 I built old-school like with a 350 block and 400 crank shaft. It was a direct bolt in just like it would be on your 283 truck. The 4l60e will take some work. I've never done that mod so I can't speak to that. It will bolt to your 283 or 383 but the "e" in 4l60e means electronic. To make that swap easier I'd find a 700r4 and use it. Same tranny, you don't need a computer to run it.

But as far as engines go, a small block is a small block. Anything from a 283 up to a 400 will swap in no problem.

I used the stock fuel pump. Why change from it unless you are going to some kind of fuel injection setup.
