I do  think the 283 is a nice match for the trans-axle...not too much 
torque  and
strong enough for me at this stage of life. Paul
 
Paul  - I always thought starting with a nice 4-bolt main  307 truck block 
and adding a 3" stroke large journal Z28 crank =  a  bullet-proof 283 short 
block. Then twin small turbos for mid-range +.  Not enough low-end torque to 
break anything, but enough mid-range and top end to  satisfy almost anyone. 
And some people are building 454 inch "small" blocks  - different strokes 
for different folks!
 
Cool -  Seth
