Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I've been one here. Hope everyone's doing alright with winter creepin' closer, those of us in the northern latitudes are lamenting preparing to put the toys away. I started doing research into doing a 383 build sometime in the near future. I'm looking to do a medium build, not too wild. I came across a carcraft story from a while back about 383 stroker build, I based my plans off of the medium engine they did (with some deviation). (I'll post the link below in case anyone's curious, and I'm pasting my excel sheet) I'm really foggy on if I'm going with the right cam and if I got the right idea on the headers, I've read mixed forums debating between them and manifolds. The carb might be a little aggressive at 800CFM, but I also put down the EFI conversion from FAST, still on the fence, hence I included both carb and EFI in my spreadsheet. The reviews and articles I found on it, looks pretty solid. Any insight from the experts is much appreciated. Sorry so long winded. All the prices and part numbers are included in my spreadsheet too, for the curious minds.
