I agree with you jerry but that way you have a big main and rod block all 283 cranks are steel and vary good quality so either way you have a trade off but I would use high quality after market solid roller cam so you have the tappet sound and a small journal crank that you can buzzzzz the crap out of and it sounds like a siren in the lights and it's back to the future OH I wish I had time machine OH WELL.....ted
