I am very impressed ! , most younger people do not even know how to hold a wrench - let alone which way to tighten a nut or bolt . Little Miss Rocks !!! . a 283 is very good on gas (just keep your toes out of the carb). Little Man looks great with his Iron Man haircut . Thanks for sharing . Ray in Pa.

I worked at chevy V8 engine plant in Flint , MI. they used to put the distributor in every motor with the cap on the distributor when they put it in and they were all in the right tooth and in time. This is just a trick that not a lot of people know about. There is a small drill spot on the distributor gear, all you do is bring the motor up on number one compression top dead center and with the vacuum advance placed about where it it should be, face that drill spot to the front and drop the distributor in and it will be in time.

Awesome work on the project! Congratulations to Little Miss HevyShevy, and the Professor and underwriter, and all of the pit crew that assisted. Wish you continued success with the installation, too. I sure miss the fun times I had blowing them up and then rebuilding things. From humble beginnings on Briggs and Stratton, Tecumseh, Stihl, Homelite, McColloch, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Bombardier-Rotax, Yamaha, Ford, GM, Detroit, Caterpillar. Learned that as you get older, it's more fun to run them responsibly than to have to do the dirty work. While I'm sure that that engine will run for a long time, I've also learned that things change a lot these days, and likely Little Miss will one day yearn for something different. Hopefully the respect and responsibility is something that's never forgotten. In the meantime, enjoy. The best thing you'll take away from this is the time spent with Dad.

Hi there, -longtime follower here, -decided to finally get onboard with this youtube subscriber thing to be able to post comments. Love your channel and have been watching every episode since the first one. This one kind of hit home with me though as a single dad, -it is always nice to hear an engine run for the first time, but it is something more when you teach the kids and have them help, -I could see that "proud dad" look on your face, -there ain't no hiding that! -Well done my friend! I also have a soft spot for 283's as that was the very first engine I ever built, -for my first driver, a Chevy Luv pickup, -yes, I got a lot of tickets back in my day being 16 years old with a V-8 Luv truck, but I wouldn't go back and change a thing. By the way, that 283 has some crisp throttle response and great oil pressure, -nicely done.

I had that same vacuum gauge back in the day, that I used to do tune ups - twist the distributor to the highest reading, tune the carb. to the highest reading. Other then adjusting lifters or indexing the spark plugs I was done messing around under the hood . The thinking there is an engine is a pump, pure and simple and if it's moving air at a peak volume , your good to go! Lazy? maybe, effective - definitely! (Big big fan of your vids Thanks)

This is a great example of true family values. All members are involved with an excitement level neither can hide, my girls 10&7 have always been around engines and always help me. Plan on doing a 327 build, but they'll be helping a lot as I can't do much of anything til my back heals Dr says at least 1yr; I can't put my girls on hold that long. They've already been waiting watching me struggle walking and just getting up and going everyday while my back was broken and the hardware from the fusion in 04 was broken as well. I finally got a Dr to remove the broken hardware and he made me a new disc and now I have a plate that has 4 screws that hold it into place 2 going into L5 and 2 into S1. I can already tell some difference as I can feel my left leg again, it isn't numb and heavy anymore and my foot drop in my left foot is goneas well, so maybe soon as my back heals me and the girls can get to work on building the 327. Thank you for being a good dad the world needs more good dads

I enjoy watching the heavychevy videos of old motors and trucks being restored. I just want to say that while the infatuation with V8's is cool, I'd like to see the chevy 4.3 V6 have more respect. I mean it is only about 20 cubes less than the 283 and has enough torque to propel a full sized half ton. These motors are durable, plenty full, fuel injected and parts are dirt cheap. A cammed up 4.3 vortec 6 cyl. motor would have plenty of muscle, less emissions and better economy. Perhaps the bolt pattern is the same as the V8.
