Yeah, the 283 is a little Jewel! Here at age 45+ I decided to build my first motor. I got the '57 283(2-bbl)from a guy at work, it had been sitting in his garage for 10 years. It was a great fisrt-build project, I'm running my own motor
Anyway, I don't see the points as a problem yet either.
Hey gmc248, I don't have the Power Pack Heads on the motor I built, but last fall a guy moving out gave me a bunch of old motor stuff. There is a 283 block and a set of PP heads. What are they? Whats the difference? I looked up the numbers last year and as I recall they are early 60's (maybe '64 Chevelle?). I also scrounged a 4-bbl (cast iron) intake with a Quadrajet. Maybe all that will be my next build.
