    i built 1 1/2 in the last 2years . one roller build. the other all machine work done and no customer ? first one was a number deal for a 59 wooden runabout. Chirs the other was a 59 chevy . parts are not more$$ there all the same for a 350 other then pistons ring bearings . less very old then it takes the 265to 283 early oil pump. and cam need s a flat cut in it or groove . last four years i machined parts for them so one a year . the last build pistons were hard to find. thats when speedpro was building them in INDA and was a backer order .i went to a KB less then two weeks . the 283 could be build to run good with the small chamber vortech may work good on it ? roller engine could be built for the same as a 350 or a small amount more$$ abit more would be pistons
