1964 Chevy ll 283/220 hp
 
Haven’t really found any info on this combination? Has it not been tried in this car? Or is this just a bad combination for this car? I have a 1964 chevy ll that I would like to do something with. Not looking to break any records just something to get me .5-.6 under. Is it worth trying? What’s the good and bad of this combination? Thanks for any input

Nothing wrong with it, except for the cost of building a 283 today.
You don't use many original parts

If your running stock the newer NHRA rules have made it a little easer to be competitive with this combination. Roller rockers, beehive springs and a three speed transmission helps.

Bobby runs a 2bl carb, no roll bar needed. Ask anybody in Div 5 Bobby has a lot of fun in his car .Monty Jones preps this car and could enlighten you what it would take to run one. Tom

Jim, the 283 is fun, but won’t be as good as the 327 250 hp combo. If you ran G stick it might be fun, but there are a lot of combos that are better

1964 was a big year for change in the Chevy II line.
Bigger brakes, spindles, 5 lug wheels, and the Salisbury type 8.2 rear, but not the 327 until 1965.
Of course , you can make a 64 hard top car into a 65, but not the post car , ...very easily anyway.
That being said , I do like the 65 250 hp stick car. If a 66 Q-jet car can run deep into the 10's, a 4GC should run 11 flat anyway, wouldn't you guys say?

I think Jim has run the 250 hp this year. Not saying it is the same car, I thought it was a 65. I would think a 250 would go 11.0s in a max effort car with great air and a tailwind! LOL.

The 283 220 post Deal is the lightest combo for a Nova v8 four barrel I think.

The 2bbl engine in this car has a favorable power factor and fits Q at under 3000 lbs with the driver. The 4bbl engine has an unfavorable power factor (65 hp difference between the two engines). The only spec difference between the 2bbl and 4bbl engines is the intake-carb. I would be tempted to try the 2bbl first since the opportunity to work out the car and associated parts would have the advantage of not being so behind the ball performance wise with other competitors in the class.

That being said, the intake manifold is a serious limiting factor on the 2bbl engine.
