283 rebuild
Hello Everyone, I'm new to this site and am an old 283 guy and I'm restoring my old '23T C/A I built back in 1965. I am looking for a destroked 283 crankshaft. It's needed to keep my engine at 283 after boring it over size. I'll get a set of longer rods made up. Can't find a decent 283 with a standard bore, and 265 blocks do not seem to exist anymore but if anyone has one I am very interested,. I can bore the 265 to 283 as I'm running a front drive 4-71 and have to keep the engine at 284 cu in. MAX. I can still get the old 'Vette domed pistons to play with getting various compression. I've had a 488 BBC in it for a while BUT want to put it back as it was originally Thanks for any and all info anyone can pass on to me.
