A typical small block Chevy weighs about 500 fully dressed. A 283 may be slightly lighter, but I'd bet it's every bit of 450. Especially if it still has the stock iron heads and crank.

The casting number 361959 corresponds to a Chevrolet small-block engine, specifically the 283 cubic inch V8 engine. This block was produced in the early 1960s and is part of the family of small-block engines that Chevrolet is well known for. The 283 was notable for its high-revving capabilities and early use in performance applications.

The Chevy 283 engine has the standard bellhousing configuration and is compatible with transmissions that bolt to first generation small blocks. The automatic TH350 transmission will fit the 283 engine.
The Original small block Chev 262, 283, 302, 305, 307, 350 and 400 all had the oil pressure sender under the distributor at the rear of the engine between the two valve covers.
To differentiate between a 1968 283 and a 327 engine, you can check the engine's casting numbers and the size of the engine's displacement. The 283 has a displacement of 283 cubic inches, while the 327 has a displacement of 327 cubic inches. Additionally, the 327 typically has larger intake and exhaust valves compared to the 283, which can also help in identification. Lastly, the engine's identification tag or code, usually found at the front of the engine block, can provide specific details about the engine model.

Yes it will fit. An optional engine this year was the 305 V8, so the 283 will easily fit with major modifications.
