Im getting ready to get my 283 rebuilt but noticed that all the linkage is missing, transmission, gas pedal / carburetor and clutch.
Would it be wise to get all the stuff as installed as possible before mounting the engine or is it easy to get to once the 283 is in?
Mind you this was purchased as a basket case so I'm not sure on clearance issues and this is my first build so I'm figuring out what I need step by step.
o and its a 57 210 wagon 283 4 barrel carb 3 speed trans all original.
thanks.

My experience has been that anythiing that can be done prior to putting it in the car is a BIG PLUS and so much easier. Lloyd

thanks guys.
just want to make sure I have my bases covered.
so far the list is :

clutch cross shaft (z bar)
clutch release rod and bushing bolt
clutch and pressure plate
shifter linkage rods

firewall accelerator rod and bracket
carb linkage
rochester 4 barrel carb

distributor # 1110890

harmonic balancer pulley

thats what i'm missing so far
any tips on sources?

All but the Carb and distributor are readily available new at all the usual after market sources unless you must have original, then you can find most of it in our classifieds here or post a want to buy ad. For the Carb and dist check e-bay I see them from time to time.
