Re: 283 with powerglide

This is my opinion..although the 350 would fit and give you more power the powerglide trans would then be the weak link in the setup. There are so many variations of the 350 in power range to consider as well. Not knowing what you want to accomplish in the end, it's difficult to say yes, do the change out. However if you do, keep all the parts from the original in case you desire to go back to original setup. It would also be nice to know which body style you have...2dr, 4dr, or convertable and the overall condition. You also need to consider if braking system is sufficient for a power upgrade. I owned a 65 convertable and it was one sweet ride I wish I still had but was stolen in Cleveland, OH 1974. Police found it 2 weeks later totally stripped out.
