283 Turbo Fire Small Block
Here are some of the various versions of engines Bel has
seen over the years.
The old 265 could blow smoke rings out of the oil filler
tube, so out she came and in went the 283 a few modifications. A low budget
early 70's hot rod using factory Z28 parts.
With new air conditioning and some dress up items, she started
to look better and sufficed for a while.
When one of the wrist pins came loose and did a little machining
work on the cylinder wall, we now had another "new & improve"
updated version with a holley atop an Eldelbrock performer.
