Improving a 283 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Backpayne** · 11-03-2024, 01:04 PM

I recently purchased a '64 c10 with a 283. I'd like to keep the engine but would like to do some improvements. I do not want to spend a lot of money, however. I will be taking the heads off later today to see how the cylinders look. No point on spending money if it needs block work.

What would you recommend?

Here are some parts I'm thinking of:

305 HO heads (used)
Camshaft
Intake

Would these be the best parts to start with?
