Gold ??  Nice looking piece though.

Man, that sits pretty high for a 383 car.Not too bad priced though, if it looks as good as the pictures.

Gold?. My thoughts exactly.. sure sits up high.. looks right nice tho except for front seat.. good starting price.

Owned by a little old lady that couldn't bend down to get into it ??

The Blueprint 383 is an aluminum head, aluminum intake motor. With stainless headers replacing the cast iron manifolds, that motor package probably weighs over 200bs less than the stock small block. 

 

My 72 definitely sits an inch or 3 higher after this exact swap (I did not reinstall the AC compressor after the swap though, so I probably dropped another 40lbs or so)

Not a bad looking car, definitely sitting a bit too high.  Not that far from a 4x4 stance 😂 . I personally would lower it front and back.

I was thinking the same thing but maybe they live in a possible flood zone and were just thinking ahead.

Or raise it a couple of inches and make it a mudder 🤣
