...and for all of those uninitiated out there who have no understanding or appreciation of Inline engines, a friend of mine holds the current world record for a 6 (SIX) cylinder inliner at 8.97 & 168mph. Put your 283, 327 or your 454 up to that!
:p

p.s. the 283 did come out in 57' but 265's were still used in PU and in standard stick shift cars. So many of you think that ALL 57 V8's were 283 cid but not true.
