    '67 -283 or '87 350

     



    I'M SUCH A PROCASTINATOR SO PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINIONS.
    Have a chnce to buy a 67-283 stuck in storage 12yrs. complete.
    or
    was running '87 350.
    my set up is for a 68 350 and I'm told the newer 350 will fit. I want to run a older intake and know I'll have to slot the holes on it.
    which would u do
    rebuild the 283 or stick in the 350?

    The 283 crank is small journal, it won't fit the 350.
    Build the 350. An '87 has the old pattern intake.

    I'm with Denny.....I don't mind the small high winders. Scooter wants to sell, let's talk about some horse trading.......!!!!!
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
