There are CF suffix 283's listed from 1958 thru 1961. All 230hp 4 bbl manual trans in passenger cars. Then again in 1964 but 195hp 2bbl 4 speed Nova

THANKS
This motor has front motor mounts. Thought only 55,56 &57 had front mounts. Cant see the casting # because they set the cab over the back part of the engine. I want to put 56 2-4 intake & valve covers on it.

Most SBCs until sometime toward the end of production had the drilled/tapped bosses for front mounts. Those threaded holes were often used for accessory mounting after they were no longer needed for engine support.
