Under the hood is an era-correct 283 cubic-inch V8. This looks exceptionally correct: from the Chevy orange on the block to the big air topper. So it should be no surprise this is believed to be the original powerplant. It has also received the right maintenance, like new hoses, wires, and belt. And there's even a large aluminum radiator. It makes for a smooth-running motor that's nicely matched with a smooth-shifting Powerglide automatic transmission. Plus, with power steering and power brakes, this Nomad is a true cruiser.
