those are most likely a pair of 283 Chevy small blocks, and they are good ones with steel cranks. I was VERY surprised at a recent experience with a project boat, the darn motor not only ran, it is still running well, and it looked like a rusted and corroded boat anchor.
I have a 327F in one speedboat, and a 283 just like yours in another. Send info, we'll help if we can.
Regards.,
Paul |

thank you for a fast response paul,im presently pricing 2 new 350 chev engines to transplant in place of 283 which are both gone.i really need some pics of the same layout of the engine compartment so i can reassemble properly.both engines have the trans on the front of engine and distributor is in stock location and tach is driven off front of cam special gear on cam gear i hope this system is somewhat common so its not to odd.i could use a suggestion to find new exhaust manifolds which were rear exit not a center dump style this boat will only see fresh water from now on and its fresh water cooling system and i have 2 pumps belt driven with 3 hose outlet im sure ther original and need rebuilt...also if i can find a manual for the transmisson which is planetary drive with reverse band nice and simple but i need to know what type of oil in trans still have 6 months winter to get through just want to get parts and info to get it right well thanks for your time im eager to read any more info available and ill work on some pics of the"menahunie" thank you g. hartley |
