Same heads, same compression, same cam, just different displacement. As you can see they both peak at 300 hp, but the HP is found lower on the 383 and there is an additional 30-40 lb-ft of torque down low.

I saw a article about a 400 bored over, 327 or 350 rods, and custom pistons that made above 400 hp & torque on the dyno. Or, should I go for cubic inches and build the 400 small block, with the ever popular controversy of the over-heating problem.

C3 Tech/Performance - Which cam for my 383 - Lunati Voodoo 270/278 or Comp cams XR270HR? - I have a stock 1980 L48, recently rebuilt 350, long tube headers.

However, the same time/money spent in other areas will likely generate better results. Last edited by Corvette Kiwi; 05-16-2011 at 02:11 PM.

BTW if you want a nice street drivable combo a 383 or 406 built with the milder crower cam, a dual plane intake like the edelbrock air gap,similar to the engine combo listed above, makes for a very effective street strip engine thats far easier to drive, notice the torque curve is almost instantly available and a 3000 stall converter and a 3.73:1 rear gear makes it run great, and its long term ...

Another pedestrian 383 in the works and I've a quick question regarding SCAT's 9000 series crankshafts. Plenty of hits here searching but nothing specific. The collection of parts is looking to keep peak RPMs to 6000. Maybe a couple of hundred more for some overspeed headroom. HP and TQ are not going to exceed 500. In street trim, I'd expect ...

The longer rod gives more duration at tdc and yes you can run higher comp on them if I rember right. yes you have to use special pistons, it allows you to rev higher but I think if any thing it hurts torque. My machinest said more often than not people like the 5.7's more. I guess its up to your conditions though.Hell, a zero decked flat top 383 with 64cc heads is over 11:1 compression. With a 4cc dome, (the typical flat topped style dome that is about .100-.125" tall that mimics the old factory LT-1 piston for the 350), when used with a typical .041" thick gasket and a uncut block a 383 is still 11.55:1 compression.I am very happy with the throttle response also. I haven't tried a dual plane on it. With the solid roller and the 210 heads you 406 should really want to rpm.

I just had a 406 built that I hope will be around 550hp. I will list the parts below. Keep in mind that I will be really happy with 550 hp. Compare the parts to the 383 posted. 406 10.5:1 compression Victor Jr intake quick fuel 850 carb

With the exact same heads, cam, intake system, and compression ratio the 406 will have only a few HP gain. But the additional ci is worth 30 - 50 fp of TQ.

You have to compare apples to apples -- with the same brand and type pistons, same brand and type rods. Here's an example that will have you scratch your head. SRP flat top 383 piston for 5.7" rod = 472 gm. SRP flat top 383 piston for 6.0" rod = 419 gm. Eagle SIR 5.7" rod = 535 gm.In the first place, it's a big block, so the engine will be a lot stronger. Also, look at it dollar for dollar, the SBC has to be built up to get 383 cubic inches. The MOPAR starts there. The MOPAR has much better cooling, due to the full length water jackets in the block.

I'm not looking to make it a show car, and I'm not trying to fool anyone in to thinking it's an SS/RS, which is why I'm leaning towards the 383. It has more horsepower (450 HP) than the stock 396's I'm looking at (375 HP), and I don't really ...I am building a 383 SB and was looking for some information on the pros and cons of using 6.0 inch rods as opposed to 5.7 inch rods. The car will be 95% - 99% street driven, and the rest of the engine will be built with this in mind (276 hydrolic roller cam, alluminum heads, dual plane intake, 650 cfm carb, 9.5 to 10.5 compression).Currently with a Small Block Chevy 350 all stock except Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake Manifold, a Holley 4160/1850-3 600cfm and HEI distributor with new plugs and wires. ... Your carb is fine for cruising, but is going to give up a bunch a well built 350, let alone a 383 or 406. A low rpm torque monster is going to be a different build …In terms of FB385 vs. 383, a 383 will make a little more power (20 to 30 HP) and they have a flatter torque curve. But it's harder to make that power because the bore/stroke relationship is more "truck-like." If you think about a pro-stock engine, they are large bore short stroke and so they have very good cylinder fill characteristics.

These cams have a very aggressive idle and explosive power right off idle. This cam will pull hard to 5000/5500 rpm. Vacuum will be low (9" - 11") Recurved distributor, HP ignition, dual exhaust or headers, 4bbl low rise type manifold. 7-8.5:1 compression with iron heads in small blocks, 7.5 to 8.5:1 in big blocks.

you would have about 10.5:1 with a 350 but closer to 11.4:1 with a 383, theres 43.75 cubic inches of volume in a 350s cylinder and 47.8 cubic inches of volume in a 383s cylinder. it should be rather obvious that increasing the compression changes the fuel octane requirements.

bigjoe1 wrote: THis is a real generalization, but the weaker your heads, the more you will like the smaller centers ( 106-108) the better the heads, and the higher the compression, the more it will like the wider centers ( 112-114)everything else falls somewhere in the middle ( 108-110) Once you get close with the cam centerlines, it wont make ...Add in the fact that they're lighter, and its hard to compare. But, as has been said before, BBCs offer more cubes. A simple 60-over 454 displaces 468, so if its big cubes you want, you have to go BBC.
