Thanks for the info buddy, I will take a look and get a few pictures when I get home. I wanna say the distributor is near the firewall.If the distributor is located at the front of the motor, it's a Ford. If it's near the firewall, Chevy. Also, the exhaust ports will be evenly spaced on the Ford small block, whereas the Chevy will have the two center ports on each side close to one another.
Cool rig!
If so, it's definitely not a Ford. And for it to be a Chevy 283 would be a bit of a rarity, although cool.Thanks for the info buddy, I will take a look and get a few pictures when I get home. I wanna say the distributor is near the firewall.
Right on, I will get everyone an exact answer once I get home. The tranny is the SM420 not sure how different htat is to the SM465. From my quick research, it seems like the SM420 has a lower 1st gear?I would wager it's a 283 Chevy. Common swap into the early CJ's and a bolt up to the SM465 trans.
