Howdy!
My 59 Suburban has a 235. The 58 Apache I owned for 32 years had a stock 283. I'd sure like to go back with a 283 in the 59 Burb. I found one on Craigslist. The seller bought a jeep and it came with an uninstalled / freshly rebuilt (30 thousands over) 283 (#gm10 3756519). He was told it came out of a 58 sedan. It has all original components, except alternator. Stock intake / 2 barrel carb (intake #gm8 8746826). Rams head exhaust manifolds. Orig valve covers, air filter, pulleys, water pump, fuel pump, distributor, etc. He sez the bell housing looks to have been modified ??? to support another transmission. I have a 4 speed granny. Is that bell housing an easy find to mate my granny with a 283? He wants $1200.00. Am I on track here? Please let me know. Thanks!! Maddog
