A NITROUS 283 CHEVY MOTOR? WONDER IF IT'S REALLY A 283 IN THIS CAMARO?

[@speedracer412]

Better then seeing another LS swap

[@1FastKarNascar]

Hell fuck yeah

[@thomasoberson1829]

Definitely! The LS swap is way overdone. It's nice to see something different.

[@biggiesmack]

@@thomasoberson1829 The LSX is the best , most versatile V8 on the planet right now.plenty of video on here with every other swap known to man, but LS is the best bang for the buck as far as V8's go. I have a built sbc 283 I'm tryin to put in my S10 and I'm gonna go LS in my 3rd gen Camaro.

[@joshuagarvey9362]

Hey man no doubt the LS is Awsome.Everyone and there mother’s are doing the swap.Definetly best bang for the buck.I am still old school holding on.But to me,there is nothing like the sound of A crammed old school motor.When it comes to street driving,I love to roll up on those LS’s with my old school 406sbc.Send those kids home thinking.

Love this! back in the 90s I ran an 86 Camaro with a 283 just for giggles. Was a mild engine with a 230/495 cam with a th350 with a 4500 stall. It ran 13 flat being lazy.

DollarShort 412 no. Ls is a strong ass engine that u can put a shit load of boost, stray or ect without tearing the engine up. Also it's lighter and cheaper to make it faster.

[@speedracer412]

100% right i love my 6.0 in my truck pulls great, its just boring seeing them all the time i personally dont find them that cheap tho everything in them is more money compared to a big block or small block but each to their own

Well i ran a 283 bored to a 301, had 300hp double hump heads 194 valves. had a bottom of the page cam 555 lift and 312 duration, Weiand team g with a 650 Holley, Muncie super t10, 5.67 gears, 31-inch-tall tires. always launched at 6200, what a ride. loved that little motor. lol now i run very big Big blocks.

Stock rear end. Took off like a 283 and power glide. That's exactly how that setup should work. It's a good starting point. Good job !

[@shitbox7413]

I believe it, probably got the engine cheap and is putting it to good use. I’ve ridden in some cars/trucks with 283’s, they’re not mind blowing but they pull better than expected.

[@shitbox7413]

Tryin2fly09, Shit yeah man, I watched a stock eliminator 55 Chevy run 11.50’s at altitude with a 265 and a manual 3 speed, set the class record, it can be done.

[@Punk-Jw]

They can be, if built by the right person. In today's day in age you get more power easier from bigger displacement engines for less or the same money, but those little 283 and 327's paid their dues. I have a 327 thats eaten most everything i lined up on the street with.

[@nathanjackson6830]

Sweet build. I’ve got one with a 4spd . Lookin for some similar for my firebird

[@lewisdeclouette6342]

hey we got to start somewhere

[@Alex-pj8eu]

The 283 chevy is better than the Ford 289/ 302 they were turning 8 grand back in 1960. The first small blocks were 265's then 283's and basically the first real hot rod engine anyone used on a serious level.. changed the whole game and was the beginning of EVERY car on the track being Chevy powered or 90% out there STILL ARE. They were the LS swap of their day

[@gpt5002]

Sum this up.. 283 is larger bore shorter stroke than 305( allows bigger valves like the 307). And if knowledgeable some 283 can be bored to 327 cubes. Same as 327 small journal. 283 has more potential all day long. 305 was a dedicated smog era torque motor too move bigger vehicles from red light to red light. And to sell legendary model cars ya have to slap a h.o sticker on it to make the car more appealing. Even the cast cranks were built better for the 283.

[@cammontreuil7509]

You are way over the place in your explanation.

[@chriswells1440]

You mean bored to 301.... 327 would be using 307 crankshaft 3.25 vs 283's 3.00 stroke crankshaft... I know what you'd be saying man.

[@donaldbishop7550]

Had a family friend , who back in the day Had a 56 chevy pick up with a 301, Many a story heard about that set up Back in the mid sixties use to pull he Brother inlaw Stockcar down to Phoenix Manazeda Speedway, 35th & Broadway Phoenix Arizona from Ray Arizona, the word was you should be putting that truck on the track, it was Pretty bad ass for the day, RIP VERDO FARRIS & LARRY OGWEN

[@BornToBeFamed]

Heads cam ,will do everytime lol. Plenty of gas lol . And spray

[@willymccoy3427]

Last 283 I built I put in a '82 GMC half ton and it ran off and left a lot of SS350 pickups.

[@Tomcatjr442]

Runs like one

[@BigUnk85]

Could be as u can see its pretty lazy until he hit the button and even still it ain't all that. A 283 is a rpm motor and runs better on a 4spd.

[@Punk-Jw]

Agreed. Stock 283 with a power glide and 308 auto gear wasnt anything to write home about, but cam change, a little head work, good intake and carb with headers bolted to an m21 with 411 gears, makes a pretty snappy street car.

[@codycarter6016]

[@shorty808100]

Whoever owns that car you need to change your rings there shot, I agree on the LS swap I would rather see like a 60’s model 350 with double hump heads bored 60 over and sleeved maybe at least I did on all my NoS race engines

[@Simmonsracing187]

Nice pull

[@samrothstein9716]

283s are great engines and definitely have their place, but that place isn't at the drag strip. Aside from a nostalgia class, no reason to build a 283 for the strip, just not even close to being competitive.

[@BayLuv87]

Daaaaam salute!!! Lol do it for the little blocks.!! Slap a turbo and some meth and u might have somethin

[@bbob8795]

[@dianathompson7597]

That was not a good start, why do a burn out? Have seen 283 do much better then that. I hope he keeps at it and gets more out of it. I would like to know more about the car.

[@johnjoseph3023]

How much nitrous? Curious..

[@carlinshowalter1806]

I'm building a hot 283 for my 75 Camaro. The stock 350 only put out 180 HP in 75. Stock 283 was 220 HP so with the Duntov Corvette cam,headers and a high rise with 750 vacuum secondaries I should be able to lay down some rubber with the 4:88 gears in back.😉😛

[@mikewillett5076]

Actually the 220 HP 283 used the same "929" cam that came in all basic small blocks from the mid 60's through the 70s. It had a 4 barrel and dual exhaust vs the 195 HP versions single exhaust and 2 barrel. I'd think those 2 differences should be worth more than 25 HP. Add that Duntov "097" cam and it's probably solid 250+ HP. With a more modern grind , even higher.

[@calvincrews3885]

Why not a 283 it’s the little engine that could from 1957-67 that little engine can make up to 300 plus horsepower if they build Forged crankshaft Piston rods and aluminum heads for the 283

[@TheRoguelement]

Guys look we know money is tight...Ok but to put a 283 inch Chevy in an mid 80s camaro then go drag racing with it tells me to our brand new to the Car guy scene. First off in order to get a car like that down the track in any kind of way you first need a motor capable of producing the Torgue necessary to get it down past the lights before the next fiscal year do you look for a motor that can already make torque like say 400 inch Small block or even a well prepared 350 .. But to use a 283 your already handicapping yourself because while they are capable of winding way up.in the RPM scale they still.make very.little in the way of Torque...they would require say a Vega or Gutted early Chevy Deuce ..NOT a car tipping the scales at 3400 LBS...

You sure that car is still that heavy? Or are you just assuming this guy didnt lighten it up. And maybe he just wants to be different. You see 350s all over at the track. I have more respect for the guy using a 283.

[@cammontreuil7509]

350 ? Boring. 283 ? Cool. I can find 350s anywhere. Finally found a 59 283 and power glide.

ehhhhhhhh what a joke no 283 would be that much of a dog, thats a turd 305 which isnt saying much seeing I have an 88 Monte Carlo SS I race in S/KA and its an 11.99 car with the exact 305 it came with and unmolested stock heads, intake, and 750 cfm Quadrajet.

Can I use the heads off a 350 engine on a 283 chevy

[@gaspoweredgarage]

350 heads don't work on small bore SBC's like 267s or 283s due to shrouding the valve unless you bore them to 301 cubic inches. 305 or smaller cubic heads work on 283s.

[@dianathompson7597]

91 vortex heads

[@thereluctantgearhead4544]

They will bolt on, but kill your compression. A 1.94 valve will clear a 3.875 bore no problem. Built several 283s back in the day. You need a head with a 58cc chamber or smaller if ya want any compression.
