Hanging accessories wont be a problem, im just running power steering and altenator. i have tons of rams heads manifolds "in stock" here at my shop, but i will just run a header bracket.

"Do you think that maybe "a lot of people" might know more than you do?"

I never claimed to be an expert here on small block chevys and im not looking for 500hp either, just a nostalgic look, cool exhaust note and a little get up and go.

The "alot of people" who having been telling me that a 283 can run are the guys who raced them back in the 60's or have built them for hot rods, 57 chevys, etc..

the other have are younger "drag racer mentality" types.

"Have you thought about how you're gonna deal with the soft valve seats and unleaded gas?"

yes i have! The heads have already been gone thru on the 283 im planning on buying.

Check out some of the cars from the shop i work at on the pictures page of www.radirwheels.com


27RAT, sounds like a plan, i have a bunch of old mid 60's aluminum intakes i can try out too, so i will see what will work out best, thanks for your help!
