A cold start of the 1959 283. Not really a cold start I guess as it is 70 degrees here but the engine is cold. Anyway, here it is with some details about it. Thanks for watching!

  • When I had my 454 is my 77 Stepside I still had room to curl up next to it under the hood

  • @chevy385 lol yeah i also have a 79' C-10 pick-up with the stock 305 in it, and there's is still SO much room in it.. i love it lol

  • Me too! I actually sat on the inner fenders to route the plug wires and stuff.

  • i love how much room in the engine compartment there is with that engine in it lol

  • Nope. It's out of the truck. I replaced it with a stock 350. The 350 has stock manifolds on it.

  • It runs great, but like I said, I didn't build it for a heavy truck I built it for a light car with a loose torque converter. I put a stock 350 in the truck and I can actually spin the tires now. Of course I am not exactly thrilled with the cam Crane recommended me for the 283 either
