Have you calculated your quench?

You should have ported and polished the heads for a few more horsepower.

What dont you lnow the shaft cant fall off once it installed the coller on the shaft will not let the shaft come off out ---- new dude its alright to be ignorant

You ended up using the blue or grey gasket

I filled in the holes on the head with jb weld. Works great!

These are great motors, the power pack heads always give great gas mileage on 307, 283, just b careful on 283s, valve lift may cause certain common valves to contact side of cylinder

What casting head did you use? I’ve been a couple 283s in my life. I ran big 194 valve heads on them. Is a tough little engines all I have to say the more you beat on it the more it’ll take.

Can you adjust the pick up tube height before locking it down?

Your joking 305 head , why they are Chevys worst flowing hp loss

Those heads are 283 heads ,,Because the big spark plugs holes in them..

That does not look like a weld , a formed tube bead ?

Late 1970’s I used KW block sealer on corroded Cummins Diesel cylinder liner counterbores . Applied and let set up and sand flat , it worked well ! Today I use Devcon .

Use kids Silly Putty to check oil pickup housing to oil pan clearance .

This should work on my 1996 4.3 v6?

Do you know if this will fit a 95 Chevy silverado 350 5.7?

The fuel rails on a 305 are narrower than any 4in bore. Head 283 thru 350 So the fuel flow rate is compromised you will get more compression, but no more horse power. I saw a guy do the ""54cc heads right", ,, on a 307 no gain.

If you had the most common 283 head, changing to the 305 head just lost you 25 hp! Congratulations!

I have been wondering hows that 283 doing and how did it run, Putting 305 heads Brings up your Compression, Depending on Pistons They are a Great little Motor,

I have a stock bore 283 I found on Faceplant.. Numbers show it's out of a 58 Vette, it was a 290 hp FI motor, and I'm going to run a set of 906 Vortec heads on it.

I have a 283 bored 30 over and I used the 416 castings in my 29 model A roadster and I am very happy with the performance of this little motor, it also has an old tri power manifold with three small base Rochester carbs.

Ever get it running??

Head bolts don't bottom out bro

How did it run???

How did it work out?

I used stock 350 heads and stock head gaskets on my 283 comp was a bit low . 600 holly 65 jets never had a problem

its such a stupid design tbh, the should just make a slotted lip/bolt

Don't use the end gaskets use a thick bead of silicone only

why you didn't clean your ports out

Hey I just purchased a new melling m155 Oil Pump, wet sump 3/4 in Inlet plus new pickup for my 350 4x4 tahoe chevy S B. Did the pickup measurement and pre oil prime and watched for oil to show at the rockers, oil flow looked OK. Was told by melling techs it would produce 60 plus PSI which it only produces 40 PSI cold and 30 after engine warmed up. But the real problem is the pump is the most noise pump I've ever heard. Pump sounds like it's grinding or whining like crazy untill engine reaches the 190 degree operating temp but you can still hear the sound just not as noticable but clearly still there! Almost like running timing gears sound but some what louder! I'm real disappointed as there was a real mellow sound from the pump when I was priming the engine. If not for having to pull my engine again to get to the pump I put the old GM pump back in ASPA which produced a soild 60 cold and soild 50 warmed but weather is just to cold right now. This GM pump had over 100 thousand miles with oil changes every 2,000 needed or not so thought it was time to replace even though inside of old pump was excellent and pressure was always consistent. Once the weather gets warner, garranteed I will. Even removed engine belt to make sure it was not the water pump or AC. I should have not listened to the tech saying melling pumps are better that GM pumps. All my bro's who said melling would not be their first choice but rebuild a lot of engine are saying after hearding the sound that this melling pump was making they won't be chancing replacing any oil pumps for their customers or friends with melling made in china junk. I even purchased a automotive stethoscope, sure enough it's the melling oil pump. Have done two oil changes with no sign of any metal shaving on my magnetic oil plug. The sound is unnerving and has my attention all the time while driving, can't wait to change it out!

You can install 1.84 intake on a 283 I think will work due to thicker castings.

Looks greaat. How is it doing 3 years later?

Forgive me if you answered this, but what cam and cam specs are you running in this engine?

Now it's on the bube tube,I did this year's ago,a 67 Chevy truck with a 283 blown a head gasket 305 heads have the same combustion chamber volume

I also have 416 heads and was just curious if your using stock size push rods and flat tapeds

Thank you for the review. My father invented this product and manufactured it for years. Sold them to jegs and pioneer until his patent ran out and he didn't have the funds to renew it. I had been manufacturing them for him for the past few years. He has been in a nursing home for six years unable to do it himself. I haven't gotten an order from pioneer or jegs in a long time. I guess they found someone else to manufacture it. My father's name is Bruce Chenault. This invention consumed my father for many years. Sold his automotive repair business so he could devote all of his time to market and sell his product. He thought he was going to hit it big with "The Loop" as he called it. Got it featured in a couple magazines like Hot Rod and Super Chevy as well. But in the end it broke him. He dumped all his money into it. Shortly after selling his business he had several small strokes and just never got much from it.

throw that chrome pan away they leak

I use the restrictors in the blue gasket. The most important time to have carb heat is when its 33-50ish degrees out with high humidity. The air temperature drops in the carb, so you can actually wind up icing the carb over in those conditions. If its 32 and below the moisture in the air is pretty much gone, so less likely to ice over I've got one I put together with Vortec heads (no exhaust crossover on these heads) and ive froze the throttle open a couple times under those conditions. Had to stop and take off the cold air intake duct to get hot air in the carb.

Fun to read all the misinformation from the peanut gallery about everything from cc's to flow.

Should of used double humps

Ditch the rubber and cork gaskets for the front and back and just use rtv regardless which set

My 56 chevy still has its 265 v8 which doesn't have a bolt going through the crankshaft like yours . I have to remove and replace my balancer to fix a oil leak where the timing cover and oil pan join . Thanks for the info 👍

Awesome!! I have a 1965 283 220hp originally in a 79 monza spyder. It has the 081 305 heads a small comp cam .performer manifold a 770 vs brawler carb. And 3500 stall. And it rips pretty damn good and revs like a two stroke!!!

Wish I had rose 283 heads where are ya

new subscriber, like your videos, i myself am starting a 283 budget build, awaiting some more tips on your 283. tnx man 👍

Can’t find your follow up. Did it work well? Any leaks?

Gracias tank's

305 heads have harden valve seats, a must for unleaded gasoline.

Get thin shim metal gasket for 283 use Ultra copper gold spray on the gaskets.stay true to the engine

Internal breather

305 heads have rib in exhaust port to restrict flow and theoretically improve velocity and improve low end torque. They suck.
