Hi Ed, yeah you're right, the 383s have a sweet deal right now but, with the exception of the Bortman wagon thing and the 383/343, the 383s were completely uncompetitive for 42 years, mostly because of the small carb. You either ran a Hemi, a Max or a Six Pak car, not easy for the average racer to afford or put together, and the motor that was the most plentiful and cheap couldn't even be considered. Every dog has it's day and I guess ours has finally come. If these heads turn out to be worth more than 5 HP and I think they will, NHRA wont turn their heads like they did with the new cars, they'll slam us hard.
