School me on 283's!!!!

I built a 68 Nova..307..3/4 Hyd cam that screamed..probably..Canadaian
block...d32

 

I just pulled a build 406 outta my 34 in favor of a 283. Cleaning the block up this evening

 

three twenty 'leven

 

whats all this talk about a 307? Hows 'bout a nice high revving 302?

 

305. Even more of a boring pos than a 350.

Don't pay extra for a number when even the experts can't tell. In our trucks it is hard to see more than the top of the engine.

 

x2!

And if ChevyG***erMadness doesn't reply in about 10 secs, send the PM to me.

 

what heads are these,engine is surposed to be 57 283

 

can't be a '57 283...it's got late '60's valve covers and intake manifold and quadrajet carb...unless you're saying that the block is a '57 283.
...couldn't say what heads those are.

 

Then you have built a 307 eeeooowww

 

305-307 not even good boat anchors. Why bother with junk?

 

should be a 997 casting number (pull a valve cover to be sure) 1957 head, chamber similar to power pak but has sharp corners in plug shroud area

 

its in a 52 truck i just got,seller said it was a 57(didnt say corvette though!!ha ha)

 

I've got a 283 with power Pak heads that I should either rebuild, or sell.

 

It's got front mounts so it's either a '56 or '57 ***uming it has an oil filter boss?

 

If dont remember wrong so does all the sbc have the holes for
the front mounts. But im not a chevy guy

 

Yeah they do. I mounted a 350 from a 78 blazer from the front when I wa mocking my '35 up.

 

283 will rev nicely and have torque in your application. I got the High Torque 283 in my 64 Dually. a 327 would be a fine option too. That truck could've come with both from the factory.

 

turns out i have a 57 block with 307 or 327 heads
