I know that the 283 came out in 57, but my thinking was that if the pics are from 57, the engine had to be from 56 to be ready and installed in the ACE at that time. Could go either way.
Of course, if it was as late as 61 the 327 is the clear winner as it was improved in many ways over the 265 and 283. The 327 is still my favorite Chev engine ever. Must be just because I'm an old fart, ehhh?...... Man, we used to get some serious horsepower out of them when I was a young wrencher...
And in an ACE that would be a real screamer!
