Personally I like the 283 emblems nearly as much as the 327 versions. From the mid 50's to the early 60's almost every cool car where I grew up had a 283 (or a 265). I was always amazed how those things could scream and spin so high (around town) with solid lifters and without pulling the rocker studs out of the heads. Many had two four barrels.

I also witnessed many young guys getting tickets doing burn outs or high speed passes in the residential areas or in front of the high school with those little engines. To a teenager on foot it was all very impressive.
