I believe that engine could be valuable. 1957: First 283, first engine in history with cubes same as HP. If it does have "Fuelie" heads, all the better. Check the shape of raised portion on front of heads. (camel hump, etc.) Some restorer may really want that. A pretty cool engine back then. A 4 speed Muncie fits right up.

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
