I Chose the 383 Big Block

The 1st engine I put in my B'cuda(many years ago) was a 383 I literally threw together with parts laying around the shop and a 484 purple cam. I hoped it would stay together long enough to sell the car. I(obviously) never sold it. I beat that poor 383 ruthlessly for many years...it didn't make the most power but it also was no slouch for what it was...it ran fine until the day I pulled it....pretty good testament to those lowly 383s

Now a roller cammed,Eddy headed "little"400/470 lives there. appearance wise, not much different.....performance wise a LOT different! My little fish will never see a small block......big block a-bodies have a way of putting a big smile on your face!
