    283 pistons

     



    Okay just got good news from the machine shop that my standard bore 283 checks out good ,and they should only have to go 030. on the cylinders.The problem now is finding a good piston to run.From what I can tell there are not alot of opitions out there for a 283 anymore.This is not going to be a race engine just a crusier in a 63 chevy truck.I was going to put eagle I beam rods in it with the crank turend 010. 305 heads small Voodoo cam ,headers ,aluminum intake with a 600 cfm.Looks like my only options are Sealed power cast pistons or KB Hypereutectic pistons.Would the sealed power work okay or would you suggest I go with the KB ,or is there another option that I am missing?
    Thank You
    Jim
