I have run my HO52 with 4.10s at 75MPH for 400 miles straight trips. No issue there. You may want to keep an eye out for someone junking a 4.10 center chunk. The most common donor is a K20 with a factory 350 and 4spd.

Capt is right about the 283 but I can tell you that they cost to much to build now. A properly setup 350 would cost alot less. Piston and head choices for a 283 suck these days.
