Re: to buy or not to buy

Curious about why you're so wanting a 283?I'm not judging even a little as I ran a 283 in a 68 Imp,then swapped it into the 66 1/2 ton I bought.It was not powerhouse,but it held up to anyway I could dream up to abuse it.I still own it.
That being said,if you're looking for more power,the 350 should be cheaper to get more power out of.
