283 Stroker??
Ok, new here, hope this post isnt too dumb, here goes-
I realize the cheapest way to make power is to increase cubes. Ive seen all sorts of stroker variations on the 350 that are very effective and effecient.
Im in the process of buying a 63 Impala SS, with a 283. Being such a heavy car, im thinking a torque increase would be real nice. Figure one easy way to do that is to stroke it *if possible*
What i currently have to work with is on the current engine is the following-
Edelbrock Performer intake
Edelbrock 600 carb.
K&N 14"
Hedman headers/2.25" exhaust system
MSD ignition system
At a minimum i am going to add the following work/parts-
bore .030 (or more if needed)
Comp Cams 270 (or maybe 280)
Forged pistons (want to have final net compression between 9.5:1-10:1+/-)
New valves (1.94)
Will do all proper tweaking/tuning on heads/intake etc...
My question - is it possible to install a 3.48 stroke (350) crank into a 283 block? If so, what are any potential issues that will arise?
Thanks in advance.Lamey Custom Knives
