I believe you covered all of the bases, Denny. :)
IMO, anybody can take 200,000.00 worth of equipment and build a motor, when you get good, you can do it with nothing.
yes you missed one. take a used motor clean and paint it and sell it for a rebuild. :eek: :rolleyes: :HMMM:Quote:

Make sure it has plenty of 80-90, and a couple cans STP. Don't add 3, it will turn to grease when it cools off. :LOL: **) **)
Scooter, I don't think you can buy a 283 crate motor and besides that'd take all the fun out of it. :LOL: :LOL:Quote:

I must say, some of the men I used to respect and some kids have slaughtered this thread. The whole point was to show how a bigger cubic inch SMALL BLOCK CHEVY would be a better build for a pump gas street engine. You could build it milder, turn it less, have more bottom end torque to run a higher gear, and it would last longer. No one said you couldn't build a 283, just that more cubes is money better spent. I don't care who you are, you will have a hard time and spend more money to build a 283 to hang with a 383 in a 3000lb car on the street running pump gas. Don't tell me you can do it, post the combo.
