just traded a 71 350 2 bolt 2 sets of smogger heads for an original 65 283 untouched out of a 65 impala has ram horns. will probably be getting rid of the power pack heads oh well im just happy to get another 283:3dSMILE: anyone need a 283 2 barrell intake?:LOL: or P.P. heads?......scooter
I'm......real......uh......happy for ya scooter :LOL:
one mans junk is another mans treasure:p besides tech how about this .155 over:3dSMILE: **)
283's are great motors. i bored mine .30 over [i think that comes out to 302ci correct me if im wrong] i put on 461 double hump heads off of a old '65 327 that i have. and a comp cam. with an old style edelbrock torquer intake and a 600cfm holley 4160 and all of this is i my 1973 porsche 914. this thing moves and that motor sounds great and winds up real tight. it was the first motor i built and was a great learning experience everyone should start with a chevy! now i have a ford that im working on and i realize why so many people build chevy's because parts are cheap! anyway congrats Scooter
283 + .030 = 287 cid

the plan is for a 62 chevy biscayne wagon 4 door 3 speed on the floor:3dSMILE:

<yeah future plans <unless the bank deny's me:LOL: > are some cool wheels maybe old style 5 bar mag's or cragar s/s's and a new paint job probably same color and a full black interior.

Hey Scooter, isn't a Biscayne the same body style as an Impala??? If it is, you could find the doors and door posts off a 2 door hardtop, convert your wagon to a 2 door. Add the straight axle, fenderwell headers, instant nostalgia gasser you've been wanting!!!!!!!
:eek: nah this is gonna be a daily driver with either the straight 6 -rebuild or the econo 283 build later will be a 427:3dSMILE: or a full roller 409:cool:
hmmmmm....:whacked: don't sound like no gasser to me. Now what am I supposed to do with the straight axle I have setting in the old shed???? Guess I'll have to go find me an old Ford wagon or something......
whats its out of? <drools all over the floor>
'58 chebbie pickemup. Need the steering box, column, and arms, too???? I'm always looking out for ya, Scooter!!!!!
Hey, Dave, are those brake and clutch hanging pedals or through the floor pedals. If they are hanging pedals, I could sure use them. Thanks:) :)
They are through the floor stock chebbie pedals.
Oh well, I wasn't above using Chebbie pedals, if they were hanging style I could adapt to the 77 pedal braket I've got. Thanks anyway Dave.
Scooter, sorry about the hijack.
