wade,

60 had a solid rear, you can run any rear you want you need a 12 bolt for the gear ratio's and durability...

the 230 - 215 is a decent combo... however no BARGAIN because nhra WILL NOT let us use the cheating #459 intake all other 283's get to use... the 265 carb & intake is about 35hp less than a 459 and bigger 4gc the 64-66 get to use...

look for a 2x4 intake and run the 245 hp... its a good deal for 30 hp trust me...

also i suggest marv ripes for trans / converter he's and OLD 283 guru
