Re: 283 with camel hump heads
i put a set of z28 302 heads on my 283 in high school. 30/30 cam intake & all. i bent a set of intake valves & pushrods before i discovered the intakes were hitting the top of the block. wound up having to notch the block like 454s are. they killed the low end torque the engine had with the power packed heads. but after i installed the old 'vette 2x4 intake & carters it was a real screamer- but only with a 4.88 rear diff. the 305 vortecs or power packs are much more 283 friendly.
