Make sure you have a good thick 283 core block before you do anything to the block. The cam tunnel should be centered and the clys soniced for thickness. Some guys are sleveing down 4in blocks to get thick cly. I know they are hard to find but a 721 block from 64 chevy II are as about as good as stock block as you can find, thick cly walls strong main webbing and high nickel content. Tom
