year the 283 engine was made and year production was stoped on this engine
No, Ford has never built a 283. The 283 is a Chevy engine.
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.
Busted diaphragm in the fuel pump. Replace the fuel pump to solve this problem. Can also be a carburetor problem such as a leaking needle valve and seat or a pinhole in the carburetor float. This would require disassembly and rebuilding the carburetor.

Depending on what side of the engine the alternator is located in the exhaust manifold or header there are two holes for a bracket that looks like the letter capital e with the top missing the other a hockey stick with a slot for adjustment the other end to the water pump
Yes it will fit. An optional engine this year was the 305 V8, so the 283 will easily fit with major modifications.
how to remove a 1966 283 engine from a Nova
On a non-TBI engine, Yes.
A 283 engine that has been bored out 0.040 inches is commonly referred to as a 283 .040 over or a 287 cubic inch engine. Boring the engine increases its displacement, allowing for improved power and performance. This modification is often done to rebuild or restore older engines, enhancing their efficiency and longevity.
The 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS did not offer the 283 cubic inch (ci) engine as an option. Instead, the available engine options for the Impala SS that year included the 327 ci V8 and the more powerful 396 ci V8. The 283 ci engine was available in earlier models, but by 1966, it was phased out for the higher displacement engines.
