Yes my bad, 283's... So, one is 1958-62 and other is 1966-67? Correct?
Forgot to ask, what drive is on there?

The drive, or part of it, is on the front of the motor and is part of the aluminum oil pan. It also has the distributor relocated to the front of the motor as well. Other than the pic above, i am not sure as well???

Are these engines worth anything?
Not a whole lot, maybe 500 to 800. Someone which is restoring a hot rod or classic car/boat would want it. Look on ebay you can find some up for sale

Ayuh,.... I'm sure it is to somebody, somewhere, rebuildin' a period correct boat from the '50s/ '60s,.....

Maybe hit the antique boat museum/ fleamarket circuit,..

I've seen ole iron like that in ole Chriscrafts, with Chriscraft Badged Chevy based motors, that most Chevy parts wouldn't fit,...

I think that I still have the shop manual and the parts manual here somewhere, so if you are interested let me know.
