The 283 Chevy has a special place in the hearts of many hot rodders. They were small engines that carried the small block banner proudly after Chevy decided that 265ci was just not enough. They were performance engines in the Corvette and they were likely the most common engine of many 1960s hot rodders first project cars. Produced on a massive scale they poweed cars, trucks, and whatever else GM could wedge them into.
They are not the most exotic or exciting engines because after all, who hasn’t seen a small block Chevy blown apart before, right? That said, we have a little different take on this one. We think that if you have kids that dig cars or are working to inspire more of them to get into the car hobby, they need to see this video. Why? It is basic, cool, informative, and may be the spark they need to tap you on the shoulder and say, “Can we try that….”
Go hang out with Davin and his new 283 project below!
