Just would like to get a figure about how much HP and TQ. this little engine will produce. Alot of people is wondering why I built this little engine. I just trying to revamp this little bugger and see how many Horses it can produce. I also have a 400 & 350, but I love the 283 it really built CHEVY TOUGH.

Thanks:

See Signature Below for Exact SPEC's

 

I'd guess a little under 350 HP ? Here's a good question.. have you ever raced an LS1 ? What happened ?

 

I'd guess a lot under 350 HP. Those "Camel Hump" heads were definately good for their time, but they're pretty restrictive by todays standards. My estimate is about 1 hp/cubic inch (280-300).

If that is the case how did this guy get 326 HP out of a 283 with less modification. Is this just your educated guess...

Here is his setup:
283 .060 over trw forged flat tops
186 camel humps 1.94 valves
350 horse 327 cam 222 duration 447 lift
headers
performer intake
quadrajet
700r4, 3.73 gears

326 hp

Now look at my Signature Again:

 

Yes, that was just a guess. The only way to know for sure is to hook your engine up to a dyno.
