    283Ttruck engine vs. 283 Corvette engine

    Was the interior make up of the 1959 283 truck engine (cam, pistons, ect.) the same as the 283 corvette engine? Thanks, Jimmy

    In terms of the shortblock, it appears the same parts were used.

      It depends what you mean by "truck". If you're talking about a light truck application (series 10-30) then the engines were pretty much the same as car.

      However, MD and HD truck applications usually used a "roller" type chain and used hardened exhaust valve seat inserts in the heads.

        If the Corvette is a base engine car I think most parts would be the same. If it was a high performance engine the pistons and camshaft would be different.
