Hi I just bought a 57 chevy truck and wanting to put a small block in it. Guy at work has a 283 laying around thats need rebuilt so he says. Motor is complete execpt for intake and carb.He wants $50.00 for it.I have a 350 in my suburban but in process of selling it, if I do not I will use it. I am planning on the truck as a daily driver and will do some mild upgrades to motor. Do you think these 283 motors make good builds both in performance and cost to build them? Like to hear some feed back Thanks.
