I ran the casting numbers and it's a 283 as far as I know <table border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>1967</td><td>3896944</td><td>283</td><td>195</td><td>195</td><td>2</td><td>replaced by 307 in 68</td></tr></tbody></table>
I was given this intake for free does anyone think it would be of use for me on my 283? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=EDL%2D5001&autoview=sku Also instead of a Duntov 30/30 should I consider the L-79 Corvette cam?
it will probably work. here is the cam I am using in my 283 http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM-1102&autoview=sku just try and match the cam rpm to your intake rpm range. That intake is a single plane open plenum - a dual plane would probably be better for street use, since it would give more torque at a lower rpm. I have been told a medium or small 350 cam acts like a big cam in a 283 because of the smaller cubes and stroke. I would absolutely shoot for 9.5:1 with the small CC 305 heads. That will give you the sound you want. The power pack or double hump heads are like 64 CC and that sucks for a 283. A 3 inch 283 stroke doesn't get much compressio. Find a compression calculator and put in the 283 specs. You'll see the larger head CC's will kill the compression ratio. You'll need some piston information to run that. Flat top or dome CC volume. Also people warn that the double hump heads with 2.02 valves hit the 283 bore. I am not sure that is true. I have measured some heads I have and I think they would clear and some people have posted they have ran them with no problems. I would just check it. I ended up using 1.94 heads so it wasn't an issue. have you gotten on mortec?
