Don't people know how to make a crank over there?

Because here people can run up near 2000hp at the wheels with a stroker and shit don't break.

found this, may be usefull:

...keep in mind that early 283 blocks used forged cranks with small diameter counterweights. Later in the 1960's some 283 cranks had larger diameter counterweights which required that the block be factory relieved in the webbing between the bottoms of the cylinder barrels. You can see the extra machining done by flipping the block over and looking for semi-circular reliefs. Early blocks don't have this machining and look flat across between the cylinder barrels. If you try to put a 60's 283 3" stroke crank into an early 50's 283 block, it may fit the main journal sadddle surfaces, but the counterweights may hit the block webbing and/or the bottom of the cylinder barrels.

Why stroke it when you can get a 350 for the same price??

SevPP · 21 Nov 2006, 04:53 am

To be honest I wouldn't bother with the 283 for the above reasons. My mate had a 283 and looked into doing some work and ended up just buying a 350. It actually ended up cheaper. But still its as slow as sh1t in its current form.

we got a 350 but my dad wanted to do this one now hes changed his mind sort of wants to get a 327 block and throw the 283 crank into it, 302
