Re: CE Block
 

Tony, You could make that block a 301 and use your 283 crank. That was the dawn of the 67 302. That is how they did it. A 4" bore block (327) and a 283 crank. Many rodders bored the 283 block out and made it a 301. How about a 292? That baby would scream. The 2 bolt main bottom end does not really affect anything. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Old story: I had a fellow call me and ask if I wanted a 4 bolt 283 engine. I knew there was no such thing but, what the heck.....I took it. When we carried it off his front porch (no kidding) the decal on the valve cover read "283 Four Barrel" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

I think I still have it buried somewhere in the garage. Seems like it was a 1963 casting. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

A Power Pack 283. Good engine! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: CE Block
 

I was hoping no one would mention the $10k crank. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Sam, I thought about building this one. If someone on here doesn't want it, I'll keep it for a rainy day....
