Got to figure if you build a small c.i.sbc for hp,each time you drive it on the street,you get about a 1/3 return on that investment on the basis of what you really feel from the mod.To me,that is a waste of money when you have so many other choices.

Just my two cents worth mind ya.

and thats your opinion and your entitles to it,

but whatever

Old school???.Well in a week I am going to be 63 yrs old.I owned a B/MP 57 Chevy with a 327 at one time.I have over the yrs watched the SBC evolve.Much of what you see today is the end result of solving problems that went on for yrs.Point being not to take a advantage of that development just for the sake of fond memories is a total waste.

My advise to the O/P is to pull the 327 and store it for when you want to sell the car.Then build a play engine so you can go out and have some fun.Honestly it doesn't take much to get 400 hp out of a 383.

yes thats true about the technology thing,

but i hate 383's i see them at the track and they do not perform as well as a normal 350. some do but most do not. IMHO they make a great truck motor but just not my cup of tea for a hot rod.

there is something to be said about cube's why not build a 400???????? or a wicked 434

my next race car motor will end up being a 377 when i get to build a new one.


of course if he still wants to build a 283-302-327 i will help him best i can, and BTW modified production was one of the best classes nhra ever had, period.

i am at the moment prepping a 355 13:5-1 6 inch rod motor to drop into my nova. never ran a 350 before so we will see what happens. but if i do not get what i want i am definatley yanking it out in favor of the 302 to go back in. we will find out here in a week or two.
