Especially with old school tech. Compression is hard to make with the small bore of the 283. Also the old shcool 283 of yester year made its power way up in the rpm scale..it would rev all the way to 10,000 rpm...not really street friendly. If GM with all of its money and research could only make 283HP....I doubt if we can(with old school tech)

I agree with you totally those 283's were good motor's but they dide'nt start going till 8-10,000 RPM's, that's why one of my favorite GM motors was the old V6 401, 4.87' Bore, 3.58' Stroke, oh yeah now that was a motor.....
