Plus I am not wild about fabbing a new tranny bracket. Let me know.
it is your opinion that is needed for yourself in this instance. you are the one that is going to be driving it. it just depends what you are happy at living with. you will reach your destination just as readily with the 283 as with the 350. just depends on how much that you want to smoke the tires off the light.

do you know the story of the old bull and the young bull standing on the tiop of the hill and there were all these young heifers at the bottom. the young bull says," let's run down and get one"and the old bull says, " let's just walk down and get them all."
