15 years ago i bought a 1958 Impala with what i thougt was a 283.
When driving it it have great tourque and runs very smooth.
but it was when i was able to accelerate at the same rate as a 66 pontiac GP i started wondering if it really was a 283.
The block casting number is 14016379 and 42 GM. 4,2 liters?
But it have a pre 1967 canister style oil filter with a conversion for spin on.
the front right number is V10098 a square and after that a zero.
the mounting holes for the valve covers are not correct for 58 they are symmetrical.
I have not taked the covers off so i dont know the casting of the heads but it have small conical plugs.
what is this and why is it running so good??
