Dad had a 66 chevy pickup that had a 283 small block in it. He got rid of it 12 years ago and i was about 4 then. I remember riding in it once, didn't sound too healthy. Dad told me that it used about a quart of oil when you drove 15-20 miles lol!!
my first car was a '67 Chevy Sportvan 108. it had a 283 bored 30 over, square cam, 600 Holley, and an HEI distributor. man i love those engines... revs like a v6 but has power of v8. can't wait to make another one up.
love that engine! sounds great, I also get around 17 mpg with mine, it's in a 66 Studebaker with a borg warner 3 speed auto and 3:31 gears....I drive it everywhere when the weather allows!
@bigjohns57 lol. I have been too. I don't get to get on there as much as I used to but I love it! I love all Tri-fives and as far back as I can remember I have said I'd have one! lol. Now I do.. ITs funny you'd said that about a '57 Four door.. Because a friend of mine just sold all all original matching numbers 4 door '57. It was in amazing shape and I knew the old women who had it, she drove it everyday and had owned it for 30 years! Yeah.. I'm just gonna rebuild the whole engine too.
I hear that!!! This one was originally a 2 barrell but I came across a 327 4BBL intake with a good rebuildable Q-Jet and I just couldn't believe the difference in power!!
Thats true and we'll find out if mine really is a pre '58 block, I'm going to give it a rebuild sometime, it has a bit of smoke on start up and sometimes at a slower idle, I think the biggest thing it needs is some new valve guides. But if I'm taking it down that far I'm just gonna do it all ya know, who knows how long its been since it was rebuilt..lol. Thanks a lot for what you said too! I love my car! I also love the hardtops too! You ever checked out Trifive.com?
Sounds healthy too me! Headers would make it sound different, but i'm not sure you want that. If you are looking for a cam that's not aggressive i think a Comp 268 cam isn't too wild but still has a nice lope to it.
@Chevypower265 They are all good!!! The only aggravating thing about the pre '58 blocks are the rope type rear main seal!! Mine is a '62 block, although the '57 I have was originally a 2 barrel, 185 horse 283. This one puts out around 250-260...Thanks for watching, thanks for befriending, and checked out your '56----VERRRY NICE!!!! Hardtops are my most favorites of the tri-fives!!
Yep that happened sometimes to those small blocks!! I used moly rings which have superior sealing qualities, but if you let one set up for long periods of time, and I mean years, oil leaks are common, especially through valve stem seals!!!
With small bore, short stroke motors (and I'm assuming) basically stock heads and spring pressures, I reccomend Either a Comp cam 268 (summitracing search for comp 268 should bring it up) or a" Lun-00016" (also call in what's in quotes on summitracing). Had great luck with the Lunati on a Customers 305 in his 84 Monte Carlo. Still a passes emissions and dynoed at 228hp/268ft/lbs torque. Also had some CC Q-jet mods by another shop.
they sound sweet as man i was planning on putting my 283 into a corona station wagon but now i think its 327 so im putting my 327 in a corona station wagon cause my impala is screwed
Awesome! sounds great! I've got a 283 in my '56 Bel Air, dunno what happend to the original 265.. But from what the numbers tell me my 283 is from a '57 model.
You're welcome!. The cam is an early 327 grind, the spec I can't recall at the moment...The heads were ported as well... I would stick to under 10:1 comp for a street motor, 11:1 is quite high and does not run well on pump gas, unless you plan to race it, run 93 with a fuel booster...Tell me more about this engine's specs, and how you plan to drive it, etc. Sounds like a good setup!!
tiny, yes. But its whats in my dirt track racecar! People kinda laugh when they hear how small it is, but you throw a .516 lift cam in it, 327 double hump heads, 350 intake with the right gearing it runs with 383's and 412's!
@5tonyvvvv I found these just today after looking up specs for my 283 283 Production:19571967 Displacement:283 cu in (4.6 L) Power:220 hp (164 kW)-315 hp (235 kW) Bore and Stroke:3.875 in × 3.00 in (98.4 mm × 76.2 mm) mine's a 63' model, which is said to produce 280hp stock... well somewhere around there
@limabeens1 That's great!!! Glad you enjoy your engine, mine is technically 287 CI and mainly dressed this way because I wanted it to appear mostly stock for my 1957 Chevrolet. Ironically enough I have now just gotten to where I can drive it on a regular basis---and this vid is from 2 years ago LOL!! Thanks for watching!!!
@Chevypower265 Oh yeah I.ve been a member of Trifive for a while now, and Also Ecklers classic chevy out of Titusville, Fla! I've been aTri-five fan all of my life, I like all Trifives, but the '57 does it for me the most!! I have a '57 4 door Belair sedan thatI hope to frame off restore one day. I rebuilt my 283 after it starting smoking, as I first did just the valve stem seals, and learned a valuable lesson 3 months later when the rings went behind it!!
@boxer3main Yes indeed! This starter is a late 90s 350 starter, gear reduction and it WILL fit all small blocks with the staggered bolt to block pattern!!!
REally Cool ! how about the Camshaft?Did You get some head port work? I've a stock 67 283 in my 71 Camaro here in Brazil..It have a new rebuild Th-350 and 3.73:1 posi rear end.Now I'm planning get 350-380 hps@6000 and 350lbs @ 4400rpm. I believe that is possible with correct matched parts , extensive head work ,11:1 C.R. and open headers..what u think about? Thanks for the answer!
@LashoutUK Well my particular build is a 283 block, that has been bored .030 over, with 305ci heads from a 1982 Chevy Camaro, 58cc, the camshaft is common for a full size Chevy, like Impala, from the 327ci with single 4 bbl setup, of 1963 to 1965, and the intake is also a 327ci piece from a 1968 Chevy Chevelle, with a 4mv Quadrajet of the same vintage. The ignition is powered by the Pertronix 2 "PLUG AND PLAY" distributor with matching Flamethrower 2 coil, and pushes approx. 250 horsepower!!
It really just depends on what you have in mind. The good thing is that 283s have a high reving capability, due mostly to its short stroke. Mine was bored 0.030 over and with 305 heads, it has 9:1 to 1 compression, and a healthy 250-60 horsepower, which is plenty for my type of cruising! What do you have in mind power wise????!!??!?
I would love to soon!! Sounds like your friend may need a new belt, due to glazing from excessive heat or looseness, or if it looks good tighten it until it has about about 1/8th inch of slack.
Oh yeah I agree!! The 268 is one of the best, I stuck with the ramhorns because I was going for a "stock" look!! The cam I choose was a CS274 in melling, a common grind for 4 barrel small blocks. What really woke it up though was the flamethrower pertronix dist & coil!! Thanks for watching!!!
Not quite, its a '62 small journal block bored .030 over, .020-.020 on rods and mains, heads are small cc 305 type, 60cc, intake and carb are from a '68 327, carb being a quadrajet 4mv, electronic ignition is a flamethrower 2, thanks for watching!!!
Yes, although it looks stock to '57 specification, it has 305 CID heads, pertronix Flamethrower 2 ignition, a '67 327 intake with comparable a barrel Quadrajet, bored .030 over with a .020 underbore on the rods and crank, all of course balanced and blueprinted, the trans is a 350 Turbo with shift kit!
badass!!!!!!!!! I have the same 283 engine to a TH350 trans running in my jeep, I added headers, and 4bbl Holly carb. it growls, did you put a cam in yours?
@LashoutUK Nothing out of the usual in terms of the rebuild, although I will tell you that the 305 heads are perfect for this size engine, what are your plans for this engine power wise, and what kind of vehicle are you placing it in??
bigjohns57, I use this video to show guys who say "I want straight pipe, no mufflers" on their cars. Its bookmarked on the shop computer. I think it sounds great, but I have to remind them that it's about 10x times louder in real life. The 'ram-horns' actually make it a bit quieter, but most of the dudes I deal with want something that sounds mean, but won't get the cops on them. Usually an Aerochamber and a Moroso spirloflow do the trick. Have a reply for jsta327.
@bigjohns57 ok i just rebuilt a 283 at my high school and we didn't use the ram horns because of the alternator mounting bracket and the oil dipstick tube
Any GM type will work. I like the 350 and 400 Turbos, (I have a 350 Turbo in mine), the 2004R used in regals, cutlasses and grand nationals in the mid 80s, the 700r4 and 4L60s are decent too. If you want good highway mileage, go with an overdrive!!
Not quite. It is bored .030 over, .20-.20 on the rod and mains, 305ci 60cc heads, 327intake with matching Q-Jet, and Pertronix ignition! She has about a 9 to 1 compression ratio. Thanks for watching!
@LashoutUK Since it has been a while for me living in Europe, I don't recall what ratings of Petrol you have, but this engine runs well for me on 93 Octane here in the US! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or specific parts you might want to know about...sorry for the late answer!
@gmchevy000 Its bored .030 over, .020-.020 on rods/mains 305 heads, flattop pistons, stock '68 327 intake with 4mv quadrajet jetted down to 580 cfm, pertronix plug and play flamethrower 2 distributor and stock type ram horn manifolds for the exhaust!! 350 Turbo tranny with shift kit.....thanks for watching!!
How did you get it to sound so mean, did you add anything ? is it stock ? I'm in South Africa, i got an Chevy El Camino(Holden Ute) that has a chev 4.1 straight six, i want to replace with a 283 v8 sitting in my garage floor. That's a gangsta sound you got there !
@5tonyvvvv Not certain, mine would prob dyno around 250 HP, its mostly stock however I've heard 300+ is not difficult to achieve...thanks for watching!!
Thats f-n cool guys did ya build the motor your selve's as a project or do have sumin to put in i have a 65 chevelle 4 door an my 283 run's strong FOR NOW ITS A CRUISER NOT RACE CAR BIG DIFFRETS BUT I HAVE NO LEAKS OLD SCHOOLER PEACE OUT BOY'S.OH NICE JOB BY THE WAY SOUND'S LIKE MINE...................
@ Daniel Lutz Thanks for the compliment! Yes I did build this engine with a friend of mine, and it now has close to 3000 miles on it, and averages 17 MPG. Folks have LS motors who can't even touch that!
Why would you bother with straight pipes if you're still running the stock cast exhaust manifold...? Or, I suppose a better question would be, why didn't you throw some headers on it?
Oh yeah, that's the main reason I built it!! It has good power for its size, and is the correct type of engine for my car with the least amount of modifications...thanks for watching!!!
Rochester 4MV quadrajet, roughly 1970 i believe, I had it restored by Daytona Parts CO. of New Smyrna Beach Fl, but after this filming. The Car originally had a 2 jet but none of it was numbers matching when I got it. Thanks for watching!!
I love the sound of all the engines you have built 😊
Dad had a 66 chevy pickup that had a 283 small block in it. He got rid of it 12 years ago and i was about 4 then. I remember riding in it once, didn't sound too healthy. Dad told me that it used about a quart of oil when you drove 15-20 miles lol!!
Dang - that brings back a lot of great memories... Beautiful music!!! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for watching!
Oh boy... I miss my 66 Impala. Set up jus like you guys's! Ram horns, powerglide.. 2 bubbler carter....😊
That's a carter alright, but a a 4mv built for Rochester q-jet. The secondaries are mean! Thanks for watching!
So did all 66 impalas have a 283? I have a 66 but I don't know what engine I have
They had several engines in that period, the 283 and 327 were both utilized then.
my first car was a '67 Chevy Sportvan 108. it had a 283 bored 30 over, square cam, 600 Holley, and an HEI distributor. man i love those engines... revs like a v6 but has power of v8. can't wait to make another one up.
Good luck and thanks for watching!!
Man this thing sounds AMAZING. This is my favorite engine the GM ever made...can we see more videos? Please?
love that engine! sounds great, I also get around 17 mpg with mine, it's in a 66 Studebaker with a borg warner 3 speed auto and 3:31 gears....I drive it everywhere when the weather allows!
Thanks for the kind regards! That Stude I'll bet is a hot ride! Keep on crusin'!!
What carb size are you running?
4mv quadrajet custom jetted to 580 cfm
Sounds awesome guys! My 65' Impala-Caprice has one and it's still my favorite engine of all time, and as mentioned before they get great mileage!
I believe that. Thanks for watching!
sweet little 283! nice and quiet even unmuffled!
There is no sound more attractive than that of the chevy small block...
IKR!!
Hi John--great video, great sound, it's got a good beat, I can dance to it.! I give it a 10!
Thanks for watching Justin!! Yes the small block is one of my favorites!! Hope its running well in your model A!!
@bigjohns57 lol. I have been too. I don't get to get on there as much as I used to but I love it! I love all Tri-fives and as far back as I can remember I have said I'd have one! lol. Now I do.. ITs funny you'd said that about a '57 Four door.. Because a friend of mine just sold all all original matching numbers 4 door '57. It was in amazing shape and I knew the old women who had it, she drove it everyday and had owned it for 30 years! Yeah.. I'm just gonna rebuild the whole engine too.
this is the best sounding small block video on TH-cam.
Thank you! I enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
That, and the 302 DZ, 327, etc. I love them all!
I hear that!!! This one was originally a 2 barrell but I came across a 327 4BBL intake with a good rebuildable Q-Jet and I just couldn't believe the difference in power!!
Absolutely!! Good luck with your 283...i would love to see footage of it when you are finished!! Thanks for watching!!!
Thats true and we'll find out if mine really is a pre '58 block, I'm going to give it a rebuild sometime, it has a bit of smoke on start up and sometimes at a slower idle, I think the biggest thing it needs is some new valve guides.

It is in my '57 Chevy Belair 4 door sedan, it was a very fun rebuild and passed all of my expectations in performance, etc!!!!
love the sound
Sounds good! No smoke! Nice job!
With small bore, short stroke motors (and I'm assuming) basically stock heads and spring pressures, I reccomend Either a Comp cam 268 (summitracing search for comp 268 should bring it up) or a" Lun-00016" (also call in what's in quotes on summitracing).

NICE RIG WE USED TO USE THESE IN AIRBOATS IN FLA NOW HAVE ONE IN ARKANSAS THANKS FOR THE VID
I was on a swamp boat in Pascagoula, MS a few months ago. Every one of the boats I saw were SBC powered! Thanks for watching!
OH YEAH, especially considering those double hump heads, which are still some of the best, providing you can still rebuild what you have!!
they sound sweet as man i was planning on putting my 283 into a corona station wagon but now i think its 327 so im putting my 327 in a corona station wagon cause my impala is screwed
Awesome! sounds great! I've got a 283 in my '56 Bel Air, dunno what happend to the original 265.. But from what the numbers tell me my 283 is from a '57 model.

It don't take much!! It to me is one of the finest chevy blocks!
tiny, yes. But its whats in my dirt track racecar! People kinda laugh when they hear how small it is, but you throw a .516 lift cam in it, 327 double hump heads, 350 intake with the right gearing it runs with 383's and 412's!
Absolutely!
@5tonyvvvv I found these just today after looking up specs for my 283
283
Production:19571967
Displacement:283 cu in (4.6 L)
Power:220 hp (164 kW)-315 hp (235 kW)
Bore and Stroke:3.875 in × 3.00 in (98.4 mm × 76.2 mm)
mine's a 63' model, which is said to produce 280hp stock... well somewhere around there

Hello, I am French and I possess an impala of 62 with the same engine, I like the noise which it makes.
This particular block was also from a 1962 Impala, and was never bored until we rebuilt it. .030 over.
sounds goood!
wish my 283 sounded like that
thx man. i wonder if it will have a decent hp rating with a rv cam and bored .60 over
OH yeah, that would be a good one, and give the 283 a chance to show how good it will rev!!!
@Chevypower265 Oh yeah I.ve been a member of Trifive for a while now, and Also Ecklers classic chevy out of Titusville, Fla! I've been aTri-five fan all of my life, I like all Trifives, but the '57 does it for me the most!! I have a '57 4 door Belair sedan thatI hope to frame off restore one day.

@boxer3main Yes indeed! This starter is a late 90s 350 starter, gear reduction and it WILL fit all small blocks with the staggered bolt to block pattern!!!
Thanks Jack!! Good luck on your rebuild!!
It was certainly one of the best balanced GM engines ever built!
REally Cool ! how about the Camshaft?Did You get some head port work?
I've a stock 67 283 in my 71 Camaro here in Brazil..It have a new rebuild Th-350 and 3.73:1 posi rear end.Now I'm planning get 350-380 hps@6000 and 350lbs @ 4400rpm. I believe that is possible with correct matched parts , extensive head work ,11:1 C.R. and open headers..what u think about?
Thanks for the answer!
The best motor ever made. Chaqrlie.
I agree Charlie!
It happens man...good luck rebuilding it!!
I used a Sealed Power #cs274 which is a common 4 BBL cam for the small block, 194 int, 203 exh/ 112 deg lobe seperation. You are right, she growls!!!
That's exactly what my nova sounds like I have a 283 small block in it
Right On!!! It will be a good match!! What trans do you plan on putting in it???
@LashoutUK Well my particular build is a 283 block, that has been bored .030 over, with 305ci heads from a 1982 Chevy Camaro, 58cc, the camshaft is common for a full size Chevy, like Impala, from the 327ci with single 4 bbl setup, of 1963 to 1965, and the intake is also a 327ci piece from a 1968 Chevy Chevelle, with a 4mv Quadrajet of the same vintage.

Loce that sound ! Thanks for post
I would love to soon!! Sounds like your friend may need a new belt, due to glazing from excessive heat or looseness, or if it looks good tighten it until it has about about 1/8th inch of slack.
Oh yeah I agree!! The 268 is one of the best, I stuck with the ramhorns because I was going for a "stock" look!! The cam I choose was a CS274 in melling, a common grind for 4 barrel small blocks. What really woke it up though was the flamethrower pertronix dist & coil!! Thanks for watching!!!

1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2, Awesome!
there will never be a finer V8 engine than a Gen 1 or an LS
Agreed
Yes, although it looks stock to '57 specification, it has 305 CID heads, pertronix Flamethrower 2 ignition, a '67 327 intake with comparable a barrel Quadrajet, bored .030 over with a .020 underbore on the rods and crank, all of course balanced and blueprinted, the trans is a 350 Turbo with shift kit!
badass!!!!!!!!! I have the same 283 engine to a TH350 trans running in my jeep, I added headers, and 4bbl Holly carb. it growls, did you put a cam in yours?
Its a Melling CCS2, basically a 327-300 horse cam.
@TheLuke2reeve COOL man!!! Good luck with that project!!
@LashoutUK Nothing out of the usual in terms of the rebuild, although I will tell you that the 305 heads are perfect for this size engine, what are your plans for this engine power wise, and what kind of vehicle are you placing it in??
Thanks Ron, I appreciate it!! Keep up with the good music!!
I'd Re-torque the lifters after break in, Sounded good revved and getting oil, 283's will rev
I did! She's still running well after 3500 miles! Thanks for watching!
bigjohns57, I use this video to show guys who say "I want straight pipe, no mufflers" on their cars. Its bookmarked on the shop computer.
I think it sounds great, but I have to remind them that it's about 10x times louder in real life. The 'ram-horns' actually make it a bit quieter, but most of the dudes I deal with want something that sounds mean, but won't get the cops on them. Usually an Aerochamber and a Moroso spirloflow do the trick.
Have a reply for jsta327.
@bigjohns57 ok i just rebuilt a 283 at my high school and we didn't use the ram horns because of the alternator mounting bracket and the oil dipstick tube
Nice video ! I'm new to this, how did you shut off the engine at the end ?
Yes.
I simply disconnect the battery.
I have an old '67 283 I want to rebuild for fun.
Good luck on the build and Thanks for watching!!
Any GM type will work. I like the 350 and 400 Turbos, (I have a 350 Turbo in mine), the 2004R used in regals, cutlasses and grand nationals in the mid 80s, the 700r4 and 4L60s are decent too. If you want good highway mileage, go with an overdrive!!
American made New Balance FTW!!
Not quite. It is bored .030 over, .20-.20 on the rod and mains, 305ci 60cc heads, 327intake with matching Q-Jet, and Pertronix ignition! She has about a 9 to 1 compression ratio. Thanks for watching!
@LashoutUK Since it has been a while for me living in Europe, I don't recall what ratings of Petrol you have, but this engine runs well for me on 93 Octane here in the US! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or specific parts you might want to know about...sorry for the late answer!
That's a beauty sounding engine do you still have it?
Yes!
sounds great wat car you putting it in
1957 Chevrolet Belair
Yes I wish you could have one too!! Thanks for watching!!
@gmchevy000 Its bored .030 over, .020-.020 on rods/mains 305 heads, flattop pistons, stock '68 327 intake with 4mv quadrajet jetted down to 580 cfm, pertronix plug and play flamethrower 2 distributor and stock type ram horn manifolds for the exhaust!! 350 Turbo tranny with shift kit.....thanks for watching!!
How did you get it to sound so mean, did you add anything ? is it stock ? I'm in South Africa, i got an Chevy El Camino(Holden Ute) that has a chev 4.1 straight six, i want to replace with a 283 v8 sitting in my garage floor. That's a gangsta sound you got there !
Thank you! It was built to mimic the powerpak setup. It has about 240 HP. Thanks for watching!
@5tonyvvvv Not certain, mine would prob dyno around 250 HP, its mostly stock however I've heard 300+ is not difficult to achieve...thanks for watching!!
Thats f-n cool guys did ya build the motor your selve's as a project or do have sumin to put in i have a 65 chevelle 4 door an my 283 run's strong FOR NOW ITS A CRUISER NOT RACE CAR BIG DIFFRETS BUT I HAVE NO LEAKS OLD SCHOOLER PEACE OUT BOY'S.OH NICE JOB BY THE WAY SOUND'S LIKE MINE...................
@ Daniel Lutz Thanks for the compliment! Yes I did build this engine with a friend of mine, and it now has close to 3000 miles on it, and averages 17 MPG. Folks have LS motors who can't even touch that!
@Daniel Lutz BTW, it resides in my 1957 Chevy Bel Air 4 door sedan...
Cool! Thanks for watching!
Thanks!! And thanks for watching! I'm sure the '76 runs sweet!
Why would you bother with straight pipes if you're still running the stock cast exhaust manifold...? Or, I suppose a better question would be, why didn't you throw some headers on it?
The pipes were just for running on the stand.
Oh yeah, that's the main reason I built it!! It has good power for its size, and is the correct type of engine for my car with the least amount of modifications...thanks for watching!!!
YES i do, and it sounds like you do too!! Thanks for watching!
@Bamchucknorris I appreciate it, it runs even better than it sounds!! Thanks for watching!!
I'll do my best to help you find some info Steve! Any particular model 283??? Give me some details....
Oh hell ya
I'll put one of those soon in my Isuzu ipv
Good luck with that! Thanks for watching!
The straits were temporary for the stand only, and those ramhorns flow good enough for me, so I didn't use headers...thanks for watching!!!
They all sound good, don't they?!?
sounds gooooood, ok now put it in my isuzu lol
damn this sounds good wonder would a 305 sound like this straight piped ?
I believe so.
I’m sure it would sound the same way, btw
