In response to DCPTCNZ

I don't drive fast at all rather be seen cruising, than blowing by someone with a crate motor and glass packs. I love orig had the engine went through its been rebuilt. Also about to have my powerglide rebuilt next week. Good see people have good things to say about the 283 I know little about them.

As far history goes though when someone bought it new they have the 283 or 327 option what was the reasoning to get a 283. Like I mentioned before gas wasn't the issue like it now. Would the reason probably be the person didn't have the money or wanted save few dollars? Or was the 283 what some people liked this era is so intriguing for me pick your engine and not worry about gas must been nice.

Thanks everyone for the replys fun to read
