Ain't happenin with the 283. IF you want some "lumpy" you need some cubic inches or more properly, torque to offset what you lose on the bottom end for drivability's sake. Torque is mostly stroke, so the 383 version small block is very popular along with the 400/406. Or you could just throw caution(and money) to the wind and go with a big block. It will fit in the same location.
