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,
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
