??????? Those dual quad cars would easily run 12.70's on a good day with a legal 283. We were torn down several times so everyone knew it wasn't a 327. As the camshafts evolved, the car would run quicker as a 245 hp than a 270.

If you were like me, tech guys were feeling the sides of the block for motor mount bosses until they knew you had been torn down. Between setting records and protests, they all knew my '56 was a 265".

Maybe we can start a new thread,

Northeast 283's = 327 cubic inches.

I'd bet the Lime Green Duster was built by my friend Charlie. He built the car took look like a factory car. When it was done, he got bored of it quick and sold it. His work is fantastic.
