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?
