Because of the short stroke (3") a 283 can really wind up but it's doubtful you'll ever need its full capacity for a daily driver. 1. What rear gears do you have? 2. What do you know about the bearings and rod bolts used for the rebuild? Or is this an all-original 283? I don't think you'll e

For a stock 283 engine, I'd say 3500/4000 tops. Remember, it's a "limiter" and not a shift indicator. Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gm2 > Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 6:47 AM > To

The axle stamped code is on the front of the pass side tube. I have seen them all along the tube between center section and spring flange. There is also a cast date code in the center section back side in the rib corner. You need the cast date code to tell what car it is from. - Origi
