In response to I_drive_chevy
The 283 was the solid basic V8 of the time, but was overshadowed by its larger successors over the years. I made it a point to keep my 283 simply because it's become a bit of a standout at shows. It also runs really well and has plenty of power of everyday cruising, so it does the job for me.
Whenever I mention that I have a 283, guys usually respond with "yeah, that was a really great engine." That's nice to hear, and they're right.
If something were to happen to my 283, I wouldn't replace it--I'd rebuild it (in fact, already did that once).
