Can someone tell me the rod length of a 283? Is it 5.7 as in a 350? What about crank-shaft...same again as the 350? TIA - Terry -- http://www.milezone.com/terry "The Silver Coyote"
Terry the 283 crank has a 3inch stroke (large and small rod jouranls ) and does use 5.7 rods. The only way I know this is I have a DZ 302 cid, GM made them using made using 283 crank and and a 327 block. 1967 thur 1969.
