Re: New 283 Motor
 

Its nice to see someone running something besides a 350. Have fun with it.

Re: New 283 Motor
 

The 283 is a bullet proof engine!I ran one for 10 yrs.First in a 68 Imp,then in a 66 C10 long step with stump pullers.It wasn't a real power house(stock rebuild) but it could handle the revs and you could set your watch by it.(I still have it and would bet my bottom dollar it would fire up with minimum effort).

Re: New 283 Motor
 

Thats what I have in my 61 4x4, love it!!

Re: New 283 Motor
 

283s are great motors, tough as nails,this motor I have in my 1966c-10 came from a good friend 62 short step:chevy: rebuilt bored 0.030 got long live for this one:chevy:.

Re: New 283 Motor
 

Its funny how if you ask any older gentleman about an engine they will tell you that you are wasting your time if you put anything other than a 283 in. So I am glad I did. And it is great to be a bit different.
