Nothing wrong with the good old 283. Just most people want more power, so the easy to find, and hop up 350 seems to have become the standard. A nicely built 283 with 4 barrel, cam, some compression, and headers will still get you 300 horse. Some one else is always going to have more power, so if you like the 283, go for it!
