My 283 Build

[philbilly]

I will just ask all my questions on this thread.
First off I want to thank all you guys that help me. I really like learning. It doesnt look like I am going to be down to long. I already got some ducks in a row with the help from some great people.

Valve ?? will a flat on the bottom valve give me a bit of compression over a dimple style valve?? Whats legal there? Whats angle vlave job?? I have heard of 3 angle but whats the point? Whats legal there?

can use flat or dimple flat will add comp.,but you still have hold the min. cc or more in chamber. any angle is legal,can unshroud chamber to head gasket. can cut bowls to somewhere close to depth of valve guide, BUT this cutting has to be done using valve guide as center using valve guide seat machine. Also cc runners some will check to big out the junkyard.
call me if you want Phil I'm better at talking than typing 606 278 0601

What is the CC ruling for 283? 50 sound right?

Looks like the guide shows 54.9 cc's for the combustion chamber if I'm looking at it right.
