This engine has some things working against it. The carb on my bench flows 566 CFM, the near 0 deck height and .020" gasket combined with a small block like stroke make any cam with even modest duration difficult to fit. Before the 383s were defactored there were not any single 4 barrel 383 Stockers out there with maybe a rare exception. The 383 is Mopar's most common engine, it's what the 350 is to Chevy. For many years a Mopar racer had to run a Hemi, a Max or 6 Pak car to be competitive with a big block, all expensive combos as well as the cars they came in, thankfully that has changed.
