rebuild or replace 283 v8
Just seeking opinions and advice on whether a '66 C10 with a 283 v8 has the capacity to make moderate amounts of HP. I'm not expecting anything huge, but is this block capable of making something in the ballpark of 300hp (without nitro or forced induction)? I know the stock 283 supposedly tops out around 170hp, and I assume that with some minor mods could get near 200.
There's a chance that this engine might need to be rebuilt and I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort.
Thanks (again)
