Re: replacement 283 or original?
Somebody correct me if Im etong, but weren't the truck 283's gray colored? My 283 is orange but it came out of a 63 Chevy Biscayne. The 283 is a good motor.

Re: replacement 283 or original?
1957-66 283cid 2bbl carb. truck. The M suffix code means it is a 1958-64 283cid manual transmission truck engine rated at 160HP. You would need to find the date code to narrow it down from there. My guess it's the correct engine, just been out of the truck before. Joseph
