I still remember of at least 2 Stockers and 1 Super Stock running the 383/400 block with custom pistons and the Edelbrock low block manifold. In addition to the strength and lighter weight, it positions the intake runner at a better entry angle in relation to the intake ports. Also allows the use of shorter push rods...less flex.
