Back in the day [before I had any idea about anything]...I installed an L79 cam in a low compression 283 with a powerglide...it was a dog 
It is always about getting the right combination of parts to work together for the best performance. Less is more  |
Agree, compression is everything to start with. I think i can assemble a low budget street 283 with decent power. A good set of Power Pack heads will bump the compression up to 9-1. Good aluminum high rise intake with a 650 Holley i think would be a good choice with this combination. And a nice RV cam with low down torque would pull this engine hard in the upper RPM range. I have the correct 4.10 gear with a good M20 4 Speed and low first gear. Any thoughts? Thanks WILMASBOY78.
