350, 383 dyno proven recipes

Wow, #19 is almost exactly my engine. Same cam, distributor, pistons, compression ratio, but a 750 CFM modded Quadrajet and vortec heads. I don't think mine quite makes peak power up that high though. Nice post!
 
i remember seeing this site awhile back. and i was just wondering where i could find it. good timing :waytogo:
 
In response to the thread about "350 vs 383 reliability" and "Dirtwarrior17's comments, no pun intended surpip.....just wanted you to see for yourself how a 350 stacks up against a 383.
 
Some great info! I sure could have used this info last year. It will make it easier on the next one! :)
 
Yes it does and at a lower rpm, i think the message that DW17 was trying to convey was that 2 similar builds of a 350 and 383 will make similar HP but the 383 will always make more torque because of the 1/4" longer stroke.
 
5.565 rods are stock in a 400, but some people put them in 383's (they get the 400 crank and take the rods with it). This is really too short of a rod and 5.7" rods are so easy to come by that they are usually replaced with them.
 
Great info! Thanks!

Combo 5 sounds alot like my engine w/ the huge cam and all.... The P.O. told me the compression is above 9.5:1 but I've yet to verify that.
