Starting an old 283 chevy engine part 1
My son rebuilt this engine in highschool about 15 years ago. We put this in a 67 chev pickup and ran it till the truck rusted away. I junked the truck out and saved the engine. It was sitting in my shed in my way for about 5 years now so I decided to set it outside. So I'm starting it up before I tarp it up for now. Its got about 35,000 miles on it since the rebuild. It has a some what of a high lift cam in, but I don't remember what he put in it.

1964 Chevy Impala 283 Engine
This is a 1964 Chevrolet Impala engine that has been professionally rebuilt in 2009 by Classic Showcase, in Oceanside, CA. The restoration and building of this engine has been well documented, and be made available for the new owner.
This Impala 283 engine that is being offered for sale is a long block with a Carter 4-Barrell Carburetor, stock Intake Manifold, Pro Billet Electronic Ignition and Distributor, and a Power Master High-Torque starter.
This engine has only a few thousand miles of city driving, and the reason it is being offered for sale is the customer decided to upgrade and have Classic Showcase build and install a 409 engine in his Impala.
