Years ago, there were two such cars that were both pretty successful in SS/IA with 383's, but they might have been later models with T-Quads (if the 383's ever had T-Quads).... dunno. One was the Dave Smith (ProTrans) car out of California, and the other was Dave Boertman's , who may have won a Championship with that car.... maybe not. I just remember reading that it was fast...

At any rate, both were VERY competitive, if my memory serves me correctly. But, I think they both ran mainly in SS/IA, not J. Dunno what that was all about; maybe the HP factors were different then, or maybe they just didn't like the idea of ballast, but they were tough... both of them.

Hope this is accurate and that it helps some..

If you want to have a fast 383 or 440 with the AVS, the man to talk to is Steve Wann. Dave and Greg Smith's car ran the later 1971 version of the 383 engine with the Holley Carb.

Don Little would be a good resource.

I responded directly. Watch the 383 in '08 in Stock. That's all I can say....

Thanks for all the replies. I now have a few real places to start asking some questions. One thing that I am concerned over is rumors of index changes. I am guessing that at the divisional races if you can't run the index your dial is going to be the index.

Forgot to thank Jeff Lee. That is exactly the type of info I was looking for.
