Ok guys, I have to make a decision. Ive got a pretty tired 283 in my 66 c20 with a powerglide
trans, that is not shifting well. I need to decide if I want to rebuild the 283 $1000+ or get a 350 and rebuild it. I just talked to a guy who has a 350 with a 4 spd automatic. The engine smokes pretty bad so he told me, (300K mi) so I need to know what to look for to see if it's rebuildable. He told me it was in a 90 caprice, which I was surprised to hear, did they make 350's in 1990?
Also, I think the 4 spd trans would be cool to have and I can get the whole car for $200. So...
Will that set up fit in my 66 p/u and if not, what changes would I have to make?
If I do just decide to rebuild the 283, what can I do to give it some zip. So Ill let you guys help me make the decision.
