If you are not out to race anybody and just want to have fun with your
car, I would leave the 283. I have the Flowmaster El Camino kit (with 50s) on
mine with stock exhaust manifolds and a 4bbl Edelbrock carb & intake. I have
a "mild street cam". All is good. You can get really crazy trying to
make your car the best and the most or you can just enjoy it for what it is.
You can have lots of fun with a Chevelle with a 283. Put loud (dual) mufflers on
it and most of the people who pull up alongside you and ask what size engine is
in it will believe whatever you tell them. John Nasta -----Original
Message----- So in your
opinion, would you leave the 283 and beef it up. and if so what would you do.
it has no headers. just a single exhaust and a small two barrel carb. any ideas
or input would be greatly appriciated. --------------
Original message -------------- Basically
because the 350 was gone when I got it, and I got the 283 for free. You
have a 283 in a '70? It's a fine engine. Certainly not for racing but it will
get you around. You can put loud mufflers on it and make it sound like you have
something other than a squirrel chasing a nut. I have lots of fun with mine. John
Nasta -----Original Message----- John, why would you change from a 350 to a 283. just curious. I
have a 70 chevelle i bought a couple months ago in tenn. i've been trying to
finish my garrage so i hav'nt been able to do anything to the car yet. I've
been thinking about changing to a 350 crate engine allthough the 283 does seem
to run fine. however iam always thinking of more power. |
