Best Answer

283 Powerpack heads have smaller combustion chambers, what gives a 9.25:1 compression ratio with flat top pistons. Powepack heads were always used with a ur barrel carburetor. It was an option that started with the 55-57 Chevys.

Will 305 ho heads work on a 283 and should I use a 283 intake or 305 intake?

No, 283 has too small a bore. The old power pack heads that came on some 283's were 202,160's, so I would think the 305 heads should work just fine. Not sure about the resulting compression ratio though. The 305 intake might be aluminum, which would be lighter than the 283 intake.
