Ok guys lookin for a little advice. I have an 82 shortbed 4x4 with a 4" lift sittin on 38" swampers and 3/4 ton axles and a 4 speed manual tranny. The 355 that's in it has a broken wrist pin. I'm a little short on cash right now so the rebuild is gonna have to wait til tax season, but I need my truck for winter cuz my $600 beater work car doesn't get along good with Kansas snow. My question is, I have a running 283 that came out of a 72 c10 I had a few years ago and I was just wondering if that motor would even be worth stickin in the truck to drive in the snow. It's completely stock and it burns a bit of oil but it runs. I just don't know what it would be like coupled to a 4 speed turning 38" swampers. Any advice would help. Thanks guys.
