    LS is now 15 years old--will be old enough to drive this fall----------

    as for the 283----with todays parts, you can build a 283(or about any size) sbc with very lite pistons/rods, small bearings,etc and with the heads/valve trains(jesel type shaft rockers) lite wt roller lifters, etc you can build a lot of hp that is very streetable---just don't put it in a four wheel drive suburban!!!!!!!!!!

    David,
    Jerry is one of the "engine guys" around here.

    So Jerry,
    Just to clarify, how many 283's have you built in the past twenty years?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
