Even though you may not be too hot on automatics, I would suggest the Powerglide 2-speed trans.Really tough(used in drag racing).It works well behind the 283.Used to have a 64 Impala and a 67 Impala,both were getting around 23 to 28 mpg.They would also wind up to 75mph+ in first gear with no problem behind the 283 grin


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
