It might tow your 83 to the trails but it would be working it REALLY hard.

for perspective, I towed a 3500+ lb camp trailer behind my 22r and 39.5" IROK's. Now that's a struggle. A 3.4 would do fine.  They make more power than stock 80's chevy 350's.  Note that it wouldn't be able to do 65-70 constantly, but should do 55 pretty easy over most stuff.

it MIGHT pull it there, but i'd be more concerned about stopping. even with good trailor breaks you would be looking for trouble.
