Very true. That 283 was a good running motor. Didn't smoke or anything. Had a small leak from the rear main and the v/c gaskets leaked. I replaced the rear main and all the gaskets. We're going to hang on that motor. It may be going into a 49 Fleetline later.
As for the 350, it's bored .030 over, flat top pistons, it's got a set of freshened up 1.94 camel back heads, a healthy dual duration cam(not sure of exact specs), Edelbrock alum. intake and Edelbrock 600cfm carb. It should be a runner! Can't wait to get it driving.
