Replacing my tired 283ci
Just got a older 350ci with 1:90/2:02 heads and flat top pistons on it.
Going to do a fresh rebuild. I have 3:08 gears on my 69 longbed with 15x10s in the back. Asking the members here for ideas on a build. Going for some mild to stout performance, but also want to be able to drive it everyday if I want or need to. |

Re: Replacing my tired 283ci

Re: Replacing my tired 283ci
Just the engine. And that was on the high side. Dont want to spend that much. Truck budget, with the rust I have it will cost me 2500 just to remove the damage.
