Not every 283 will bore to four inches so you might not want to go that far. A common step back when 283s were common was to go to 292 ci.

And generally a 283 punched out to four inches was called a 301.

The '302' was the 327/350 bore block with a 283 length stroke that was used in the first Z-28 Camaro. You say small block 302 and that specific motor is what I think of. In the Stovebolt community 302 is most often associated with a big GMC six.

And of course other people think about five litre Fords...
