283 bolt to a T350? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The three-speed I have was originally bolted to the 230 straight six.

The ‘283’ I’m about to get rebuilt is from 64’ to 67’, according to the block numbers, according to a friend that has a catalog. Does anybody know if there’s anything complicated about bolting the trans up to this SBC?

I can deal with the motor mount issues easy enough - if the stack-up length from the drive shaft is an issue, just don’t want any surprises when the motor and tranny come back from the rebuild.

My last C10 was a 283/th350 combo. according to the previouse owner it was not an issue. The 283 was later pulled to install a stroked sb400 with a mild cam. Good luck!

btw, surf city, CA in No or So Cal?

The only real Surf City (copyright wise) is Huntington Beach, CA,

Good to see so many SoCal truck owners in here.

Thanks Guys - that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm going to be about $3,000 into this getting my truck back on the road after being stolen and I wand to keep the surpises to a minimum.
