Well after researching some stuff on my 283, I wasn't gonna have the CR that I want
So I dug out a old engine that I got from GringoLoco last year (sposed to be a good engine, maybe needed to be rebuilt) & I pulled the heads off to see what kind of shape it was in

Low compression POS pistons

So I decided that I would pull the pan & check out the crank

Come to find out, its a 4-bolt main

So its a good block to rebuild & start fresh with one of these days
