Would you mind sending me a pm at wprater@hotmail.com. I would like to talk to you about using the 383 in SS/JA you mentioned in another post.
thanks

Will, Mike Cotten, here in Tulsa, is building one too. Should be about done.

I was under the impression that the carb on the 383 was too small to make it competive

will prater · 11-14-2007, 09:08 PM

The carb is definately small. I believe the AVS is only 650 cfm. That is only one of the reasons I am asking around before I jump in the water. And I saw what Ed's small block chevy can do!

Ed- sent you a pm.

thanks

I have a 67 coupe that [I] considered running years ago, but was informed by a known engine builder that its a hard combo to make competive. I considered making the mods to make appear as a 68 so I could run the 340 combo, Bought a 74 duster that was complete and just kept the cuda as a street car

I investigated running the 340 combo as that is what is in the car now. But the heads I use (w2) are not legal. A noted head porter suggested I find a set of 576 heads to use if we build the 340. I put out a few wtb posts with no results. But was given access to a bunch of 383 blocks, heads, cranks, valve train parts to use. So I thought I better start asking the right people.
