Re: Newby Overhauling a 283
Don't know about the knock,it could be anything from piston slap tp a loose flywheel bolt. The hard start well if it was me,maybe do a compression check. You can go online and find the values you would be looking for. I don't know if you intend to keep the truck exactly original or what but, you may want to consider a crate engine. By the time you pull the old 283 out and get all your parts for the rebuild,machine shop costs etc you could get a new or freshly reconditioned small block that will make going thru the gears a lot more interesting but,that's just me. Good luck
