Those early 283/310 engines slipped my mind. If my memory serves me right, the Lanova 310 had a bigger intake manifold, noticeably bigger than the one found on an 88 or 1600.   [Reply]  [No Email]

You can also have 310 engines with 9/16 inch head bolts. Get the model and serial number off of the injection pump while you are looking. Casting numbers on the block MAY help as well.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Those intakes had "Oliver Diesel" written on the side. There is no way to tell a 283 from a 310 without tearing it apart. My guess would be look at the water pump, where the fan bolts on. The 310s had a longer shaft so the fan would be up into the shroud, but a water pump from a 283 would bolt on as well and would probably need to be if it's in an 88. Some differences between the 310 and 283 are that the 283 has 9/16" head bolts and the 310 has 5/8". The valves on the 310 head are also bigger, in addition to the extra 3/8" of stroke on the crank. But like I said, you can't tell those differences without doing some wrenching.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I do not know how to tell between 283 and 310, hopefully someone else chimes in 310 is 3.875x4.375 stroke 283 is 3.875x4.00 stroke 265 is 3.75x 4.00 stroke Hope this helps a little   [Reply]  [No Email]
