thanks for the help-
what i don't have is anything from the old 283. no flywheel or anything. what i think i can do then is just use any pre-1985 flywheel w/ an 11" clutch and that should bot right in. i'll also need an adaptor to go from the old type front motor mounts to the later style side-mount and finally a pair of ram's horn manifolds and i should be going down the road.
i think that i've found an adaptor in the classic parts of america that will do the job of adapting the side mount motor mounts to the front mount type. this should work in the larger chassis, correct? the dimensions of the blocks are the same, so if it'll adapt a motor to a 1/2 ton, it ought to work in a 1 1/2 ton. is that correct?
thanks for the help guys,
