Howdy,
Picked up a 283 out of a 65 Chevy sedan. Want to have it rebuilt. My goal is to put it in my 59 Burb. I'm not into speed, just comfortable pulling/driving. 60MPH. I'm going to pull a 2200 lb 1963 travel trailer. Questions:
-Can I get enough power out of it to effectively take this combo down the road? What would be recommended for the eng rebuild to get me set for this?
-My Burb has the 4 speed granny tran. It that a decent trans for this combo. Should I look at a power glide or something else?
-I'm gonna run an alternator and a/c compressor.
Thanks! Maddog
