Man, I love a 283. Me and dad have had a few of them. I think they are the best motors that Chevy ever made. The 327s are good too. If you have one of those 283s that has the power pack heads on it then you got a little power house. You can put in one of the high energy CAMs and it would be a great motor. Good on gas too. I have never been a fan of a 350 unless you get a 4 bold main and they are hard to come by. All the other ones I ever had seem to be made out of recycled cans and never lasted. Nothing wrong with the 6 either... One of those rebuild and it can take a far amount of abuse..
Going fast is over rated anyway. Drive slow and enjoy the ride.... Going fast you might miss something important.
