283 with 327 crank
Hi. Im going to purchase a torn down 283 sbc ('58-'61) thats been 0.060 overbored. It comes with a 327 crank and connecting rods, and also with 307 pistons (0.060 oversize). it also comes with the original 283 crank which i believe has been machined but im not sure what has been done to it.
My question is, can I use the 327 crank and rods with the 307 pistons? or even the 283 crank? I guess if i use the 283 crank i'll have to get new rods. I want the bigger stroke but I don't know if the 327 crank will fit the block, and if it does, and I use the 307 pistons, will there be an issue with the total height of the pistons?
Also, the heads are 283 powerpack heads, 64cc from what I could tell.
It seems like kind of a mess but Im getting it for pretty cheap so I'm not complaining. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Looks Factory!!
