Thread: Cubic Inches = Ahead In The Game

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.

I pretty much agree with what you are saying, but unfortunately you hit a raw nerve with some and the emotions got somewhat carried away. That's not what this forum is about.

combo what combo? figure out like i did and im only 19!

well guys are going to build what they want . there is no way you can make them change. you can try to make them think. then if you cant do that then try to them laugh? right denny

ahh heres a tissue to cry into in cause your 350 just got spanked by a lil oll 302 this message is not directed at anyone person

Be careful on posting that winning combo gassersrule !! He has lost respect, so theres no point in proving anything. Keep that combo a secret.

I still like you Denny

You got that right. Guy cuts you down, and then wants proof, and how to do it to boot. You got to be breathing fumes maro.

Lighten up, I'm not the one trying to build a 283 to hang with a 383 for a $1000.00.

I got plenty combos, but I don't try to make one up to make 350 hp on a street engine for under a grand Now that's funny

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

no no i said you can build a 283 with 375 horse for under a grand. i never said my motor was built for under a grand. you must how to read, you read stupid magazines that have brainwashed into only building 350+ cube motors. go back and re-read my posts. i said i have built them i didnt say MY motor was like that. are we done playing kiddy games now? because i am keep spouting and ill glance at it and laugh and look at my motor and laugh some more are the way i have defied the laws of physics,, wow that was so hard to build!

Yeah Ray, I know what you were trying to say. You were just saying the same thing I've been thinkin' all along. I have no idea why some of these guys have to take the contrarian point of view that they do. It's just common sense. Start with a big dog to pull your sled. He won't have to work nearly as hard gettin' the job done and he'll last longer than a smaller dog.

This ain't rocket science fellows.

I didn't say your motor was built like that either, I said it's funny you can build a 283 to make 350 hp for 1000.00

why is it funny? its completely possible!want my machine shop to call you with UN-discounted rates? ive got a bone stock 283 4 bbl motor on my floor. i betcha 10 bucks for under a grand i can get 350 horse!

I got a 283 too. If I use heads, pistons, valve train, and misc. parts I already have, I could too. But it would be all used parts that are already paid for. Add them up and they are way over a grand.

Nuff said. I'm putting my guns back in my holster. The national guard just rescued me. Thanks Tech, Pat, Erik, Stu, and others for seeing my point. This could have been a good thread for a everyday Joe to learn something when he decided to build a everyday engine for his truck.
