I actually bought a fairly complete 1965 283 to scavenge parts for this engine. Pics below. Then a friend offered me a 1958 283 for parts. When I tore down the 1965 engine I noticed it had never been rebuilt. I couldn’t bear to see it go to scrap, so I sent it to the machine shop. Got it back 3 weeks ago. Now with 0.060 pistons, a Comp Cams 268H cam which will make it a moderate performance engine with a nice lope.
So, I actually have two freshly rebuilt 283s. I’ll assemble all the pieces, run stand test it and then decide which one I like best.
