Hot Rods For you 283 lovers.

On that auction site we all know and love, item number 303959491608, is a 283 SBC short block destined to make your blood pressure rise. Huge domed pistons, aluminum rods, flat tappet mechanical lifter cam, and a few other goodies. I think the price may be a little "high" ($900.00), but if there's anyone local to it, it may be worth what the guy's asking. I have absolutely NOTHING to do with this sale/auction. There you go! I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Thanks, Butch, that did rev me up a little. I'm one of those guys who still spends twice the money to make half the power by building 283's instead of 350's. It makes no sense but it makes me happy.

 

Yeah, I'm a 283 lover too....If that was within a day's driving distance from me I'd buy it....

I could use another 283, but the postage would kill me!

 

Probably couldn't build a similar engine with similar parts for the price. So if a guy wanted this type of build it seems like an OK deal. I love 283's, and would also consider it if it wasn't the opposite coast.
