Wiw 283
 

The engine is a 283 from a 1966 Chevelle rebuilt 15k miles ago, it runs perfect. Its all stock inside, with an HEI distributor, Weiland 4 barrel intake and a quadrajet carb with electric choke rams horn manafolds.

I could be interested once you come on a price.So...let me come up with a low-ball number...
I`ll let other give input since I`m expressed an interest.Are you pricing to buy or sell?I need to build a truck for my son and was considering a lil`283.
It`s a bit funny selling a good rebuilt motor independantly.No garauntee,can`t prove much,it`s a bit of a crap shoot based on seller`s honesty or on how honest whoever he got it from was.Selling a motor claimed to be rebuilt helps a vehicle sale.But,once it`s out,unless you`re a rebuilder/machinist or have a recipt and a way to show how much use it`s had...
I know you know this stuff.I`m just painting the picture.I figure used smallblocks are good for about $300 max.Rebuilt with some low(claimed)mileage would go for $500 or more complete.I can have a motor built by a guy I trust starting at about double that and know it`s fresh.

Iam going to sell it I am taking it out of my burb and puting a 6.2 diesel in its place. its a good running motor doesnt smoke or any thing. I was going to use it in my firebird but decided to use a 350 tpi motor I have instead. it still in the truck for now but so it can be started but I would like to pull it out soon.
looks like from the ebay it could go from 300 to 600. so I would like to start the ofers around 450 and see what happens.
thanks

Re: Wiw 283
 

some one make an ofer while you can still here it run its coming out of the burb soon.

Re: Wiw 283
 

any one need this thing I didnt get a chance to take it out this week so it can still be started up.

Re: Wiw 283
 

I would be interested........but no money until Oct. Want to trade? Plus wouldn't be able to pick it up until then either. No trips until I finish healing.
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Wiw 283
 

Steve you know me Im always up for a good trade. I still have close to the same list of stuff needed. a/c for the burb. buddy bucket seats blazer bucket seats 68 firebird parts turbo parts for the 6.2 patch pannels for the burb.
I hope you get heeled up soon you have some cool projects down there that I wouls like to see done some day.

Re: Wiw 283
 

What patch panels, I am in the process of stripping the 68 4X4 and I have some tri plus patch panels also

Re: Wiw 283
 

HOPE Your Feeling Better Qksilver .

Re: Wiw 283
 

Just about every thing to fix from the bottom up to abought 6in and I think i need one full rear tailight patch pannel. I need to make a list. I thought you were going to rebuild the 68 ?

Re: Wiw 283
 

Take video with sound of the motor running before you pull it.
Make sure you get the tailpipe picture while revving the engine, video any gagues to prove good oil pressure etc.
some digital cameras can do it.
It's the next best thing to seeing run.
I almost got burn't on a motor I could not see run. Good thing the guy was honest and gave me my $ back.
Up here a running 283 would sell for around $300.00
They tend to sit awhile as everyone can get a cheap 350 on every corner:)

Re: Wiw 283
 

Bcowan...........with the meds I am on.........feeling isn't a concern!
Earl give me a list............the 68 I was talking about is the green on sitting outside the shop. The one under the shed isn't going anywhere!
It has quite a few good panels and I also have a major stash of aftermarket patch panels. The NOS stuff doesn't go anywhere untill I get my projects done, and who knows when that will be.
Pm me and let me know, casting #'s and what you need.
Thanks,
Steve
