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..

the edelbrock performer is a decent little cam jonathon, its not to mild, and not to wild

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!!!

Will this one work with stock valvesprings?

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. Pulls to 5500 no problem. That's with a performer intake and 600 edelbrock carb.

 

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.
