283ZX Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I know it's definitely possible but what all is it going to take? Would this swap be any different than a 350 swap? I have a 283 from a '61 Corvette that's been sitting for the better half of a decade. I plan to freshen it up a little but it's a complete engine so if everything checks out then I won't be changing much. I have done a bit of searching but couldn't find any write ups on an actual 283 swap, just theoretical. the '80 280ZX is all stock, L28, 3 speed auto.

pparaska Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Since it's the same exact block mounting as the 327, 350, 400, Gen I Small block chevy, bolting in a 283 is what is covered in many of the threads here and int the JagsThatRun.com swap manual. So all your searches for Gen I SBC swap info here will apply to the 283 swap. Good luck and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Would the 283 be worth anything (more than any old sbc) to someone with the same year(s) corvette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
