283 piston diamentions
HI,
I've been told that 283 pistons can be used in my (Aussie) chrysler 265 hemi 6, but that the block need to be decked extensively. I'll be fitting either a 4/71, or a big hairdryer, so lower compression would be a bonus. I realise that having a low deck height isn't ideal, with regards to squish and swirl. But I gotta lower the CR as cheaply as possible.
Anyway, what is the bore size of a 283, and what is the pin height?
Also are forgies readliy available for them?
Thanks,
Bart.some is good,
more is better
too much is JUST ENOUGH!
Awesome, I will put 5 quarts in when the time comes. I've always used Valvoline, what viscosity would be recommended for So.Cal.?, and thanks again
SB distributor won't fit
