<span style="font-style: italic">fuel injected versions were rated 283 HP</span> - converts and other models so equipped that year. No offering was 250 HP rated......most were less than 250 HP except the FI and dual carb config.

FI 1957 hydraulic cam motor was rated at 250HP. Solid lifter cam was 283 HP Corvette had same 250 hp and 283 hp as well. I dont believe the 57 chevy belair converts ever had solid lifters based on what ive ever been told , only the black widow coupes had 283 HP ,hence my question.

What I read about it tells me FI was offered in several variations. There are ads out there on ocassion that state having the 283 HP version with sold lifters so I guess we reach our own conclusion. I'll do some further looking to see if I can find anything more.

Here's one example...............

The Z16 Chevelle and the 63 split window have been sold. Wow - I am really doing this. Going to be hard to replace.

Wow... I am looking to buy my first Corvette... a C2.

Got anything in the $35K range?

I probably can't afford the rags you wipe those cars down with....

good luck with sale

Cheers

Dave is one of the nicest real "car guys" I have ever met, (and I have met a few!) and has always collected the best of the best, and made them even better.

Darrell is also a great guy and is well known as the author of many Mopar articles, and he literally wrote the book on Max Wedge Mopars.

If you are looking for no questions cars (or a really awesome truck) for your collection, you can't go wrong with either of these fine gentlemen.
