Im restoring a 65 el camino original 283. I want to rebuild it but i was told its not worth it because once the 283 is rebuilt it has over heating problems. Did you have any problems???
This thing looks great!! i love the clean almost factory look with perfect details and a bit more power!! good job man. i have a 283 i am about to build and will be stoked if it looks this nice!
i really like sleeper look so kept it clean and simple, man this engine pulled like a mule in first gear with a powerglide and a 3.08 rearend. i would hold in in first till like 80 mph
Awsome looking motor! i have a 283 in my 65 chevelle but i don't know what model it is 190 horse 220 horse no idea no idea how to find out im a ford guy lol
what was the approximate total cost for this? my uncle wants to sell me a 283 out of his el camino and id like to get a price on how much itd cost to rebuild her (she needs it)
all in all part's from summit racing was about 2,000 and the labor was 450.00 for the machining. this thing had everything new except the head's themselves and the block and crank. everything else was replaced. it was like 35-40 per cylinder for machine work and then the machinist short blocked it for me. so i painted it up and had it running in one weekend.
Such a beautiful sound, nice video

Very nice. I have a 283 in my chevelle. All original, except for the ignition, carb and intake. It is on my page if you want to check it out.

Nice. I posted a video response showing what I did to my (old) 283. Now it is a 327! Not that I didn't love the 283 before.............
