    you will have to pay big bucks for pistons. I have a 302 made from a 283 and uses stock 302 pistons.

    I'd love to see what scooter put in the pm. I'll bet he advised boring the 283 block to 4" and puttin' the 327 block over in the corner wrapped in plastic for later use.

    "What Can I Use Out Of The 283?"
    The crank.

    I'm starting to worry about you racecar....you had a golden opp to have fun with the PM reply.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    302 pistons

     



    Don't know if they are still available but Silva-lite and Badger made 302 Pistons in Cast.I built a 302 SBC in the 70's they ran about $85 a set,I had the 302 in a '63 Nova ran it street & strip for 2 years+ till i sold it Just make sure you beef up the rods and rod bolts and get a quality engine balance,302's can really turn RPM's.
