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.

1959 283 Chevy Cold Start
A cold start of the 1959 283. Not really a cold start I guess as it is 70 degrees here but the engine is cold. Anyway, here it is with some details about it. Thanks for watching!
Glen L Hot Rod Startup
First start up on our Glen-L Marine Designs 17' V-drive ski boat. The boat was to be powered by a high winding 283 cubic inch Chevrolet small block V8. Unfortunately the engine developed a bad knock as soon as we fired it up a week ago. We swapped most of the parts over to a 'quickly' freshened up 350 CID Chevy. The block is 'on loan' so I guess I'll have to be kind to it !
