looks like fun
09-23-2011
really 283? why? just curious
09-24-2011
Several reasons. One its not a 350. Two it was free. And three its an sbc....everythings cheap as hell. Full long tubes 100 bucks. Cam 54 bucks....gatta love it
09-24-2011
sa wheat.
which cam you doing?
09-24-2011
i havent decided yet...but seeing as most are about 50 bones its gonna take a while to decide. i like the thumper cam alot. but we shall see
09-24-2011
Why don't you want to run a 350? Just trying to be diff?

yeah but a 350 would make more power with the same mods and you can get one for like $100 or less
09-24-2011
free>$100
but still 350's are over done everyone does them and yes there everywhere but why not say away from the bandwagon that is the 350 and be different by makeing something your own
09-24-2011
I like being diff and saving money thats why i built my 5.0 in my el camino instead of swapping the motor. Another plus is if the 283 ever blows all the parts can be swapped to another sbc.
09-24-2011
Exactly...everyone and there mother builds a 350...283's are becoming uncommon very quickly..
09-24-2011
I wonder why everyone builds a 350.
And the good stuff isn't cheap.
09-24-2011
open jegs catalog, hey 400hp 350 for 4k.
09-24-2011
That's why you don't pay someone to do your work you do it yourself. 400hp for $1500 then
09-24-2011
my current build sheet is for around 400hp...and im at 750 bucks so far...id never pay for someone to build me a sbc...there pretty much like legos
