What kind of vehicle are you putting this 283 into? If it is a heavy car, like an Impala, then I would say you are wasting your money. But if it is a light weight car, like a '30's Ford street rod, then it may be feasible. To get over 350 hp out of a 283, you are going to have to rev it a lot higher than a 327 or 350, and that may require a solid lifter cam. In addition, you may lose street manners with a big cam. I have a 383 that dynoed at 450 hp, and it is so easy to drive on the street, my wife could drive it.

The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
