Good deal. Im glad you dint give up on the 283! For me a 283 is a lot of fun. It was common in the 60,s to install a carter AFB from a 327 on a 283. I know many will disagree however I believe you can install a supposively too big a carb on a 283 and it will still handle it great. The engine in the 55 in my avatar is a 283 from a 65 chevy. Stock engine with a 100,000 miles. All I done was install a new timing chain. Recurve the dist. add hedders & adapt a 625 CFM carter carb to the stock 4GC intake. Lots of fun and it doesn't have any bog or other carb problems. View attachment 4574963

I was gutted when I had to take the Rochester off and stick chrome on top so out of place on this thing.. But I'm not tearing the Rochester back down so chrome it is.

You did check where the oil pump drive rod passes through the rear main cap? Hopefully you've gotten "lucky" with this little 283! I wonder how the Canadian fella is doing with the one I gave him? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
