Re: Building my 283
Cam in bad shape!
Do you mean a couple lobes worn down?
Nothing wrong with a 283. You just gotta let em run at higher rpm. No gearing to cruise at 60 at 2000 rpm.
Built right they can be a screamer. Had one in a 57 bel air that turned 9 grand all the time. My buddy built one that he shifted at 11 grand.
Don’t use the L79 cam. Old technology. Slow ramps. Better choices out there.
Give us some more pics.
And welcome to the jungle!
