The 283 ci V8 was a bored out 265 ci V8. 1957 was the first year it was offered in any Chevrolet car. The Rochester mechanical continuous fuel injection system version of the 283 ci engine produced 283 hp, one horsepower per cubic inch. The $550.00 option was the most advanced engine in America at the time and it made the Corvette the quickest production car in the world. That engine was offered in other Chevrolet body styles also. However, the Rochester fuel injection system was finicky and needed close attention to make it run correctly.
In 1957 Ford came out with a Paxton-Mcculloch supercharged 312 ci engine producing 300 HP in the T-Bird and the base model Custom body style.

Stunning Vet.... a BIG WOW inside and out! The colors are classy and lovely, just right together! Love the touch of silver on this. Got some real kick with the dual quads! Love the sound, could hear kind of like a rush of air with it. Great car, so cool!!! Fun vid! Thank you!

With a VIN ending in 5969 indicates this a late model car.
A 4-speed transmission option would have been readily available. I believe 6336 units were produced.
A very beautiful restoration!

Dual Quad 283 ! Very nice ! :)
Hi gerard cousineau, Glad you thought this car is "Very nice !" :-) Agreed, the dual quad's are nice when you open the hood, Lou
Yes the dual quad was a surprise ! :)
One engine the gentleman didn't mention was the 250 hp fuel injection it had hydraulic lifters and could be ordered with an automatic or manual
....like in this one. ruclips.net/video/jxR03ZvYBzo/видео.html

Hi William Scott, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Beautiful car! ...and I'm learning more and more about the Corvette.
Is this car easier to live with than the "injection" version?
Hi Carlos, Happy to read you're learning from the Care Takers :-) Lou
They need to style modern cars like this
Hi Morty Smith, I like the way you think :-) Lou
Lou Costabile
Haha, thanks man! :D
The interior of the fuel filler needs cleaning repainting?
Hi BobEckert56, I think you're missing the big picture. I have not heard anyone ever say, "WOW, that is an awesome fuel filler area!" :-) Lou
I just got a swell :)
Clearly you're a Car Person :-)
Where are the backup lights? Or were they optional? 😨
Back up lights weren't a thing until the 70s and 80s.
Not there yet.
If the clock doesn't work, it's not a real restoration.
Sooooo close.
Oil That Squeky Trunk Mechanism ! !
Well get right on that Mark ! !
TRY INTERVEIWING PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT THERE TALKING ABOUT.
What did he say that you disagreed with ????
hE IS SAYING THE FIRST VETTE V8 WAS IN 1957, IT WAS IN 1955.
Peter Hogan oh ok that is correct. Yes you are correct.
Yes, you're correct, 55 was 1st V8. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Bull shit, the first year for the V8 Corvette was 1955.
Hi Peter Hogan, How about, "Hey Guys, the 1955 Corvette was the first V8" Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Enjoy, Lou
