don't over do it with a 283 , they don't like big cams unless you do heads, intake, headers, ingnition...

I put the 300 hp 327 cam in a 283 years ago, performer intake and headers. IT was a dog until 2800 RPM....

so I compensated with a street stall , next was gears...I sold it before that happened.

my 2 cents..

What he said, but you can buy a generic version, don't have to buy edelbrock, it's 204/214 duration, .420"/.443" lift, works great in a 283. I have it in mine that's in the 59, and also in the 305 in the rag. Love It!!!

Yep it does, no issues so far and the 283 was run hard for 6 so so years in my 65 SS before findin a home in the 59.biggrin Pulls to 5500 no problem. That's with a performer intake and 600 edelbrock carb.

yup they,re a great lil "slap it in and run it cam". i got alot of buddies running the on close to stock engines, and the perform pretty good. like dano said, the generics are just as good. i think the summit brand is really cheap in price.

Just for comparison, your stock 283 cam in 67 part number 3896929 is

.390 intake and .410 exh.    195 /202 duration at 050 lift.

edelbrock part # EDL-2102 cam and lifter set


.420 intake and .442 exh       204/214 duration at 050 lift.


I have to agree that with a stock auto this would be a good cam. I have seen to many times freinds overcaming and ending up disapointed in performance at low RPM.  Complaining that there stock engine performed better. Big cams mean tall gears and torque converters.

There Ok.  Your just looking at the advertised duration not the duration at  .050. The Lunati cam is a good price. Same lift and duration and lobe seperation as edelbrock.
