It took a couple of years to get the wrinkles sorted out of the "new" 283. In 57 the 55 and 56 265's were outrunning the bigger engine cars. All of them, 265 and 283 suffered from a bad piston design that caused the Invar anti-expansion struts to break away from the piston skirts. I've seen as many as 4 or 5 cracked OEM pistons in a single engine.
