It is a different world today, in every, EVERY possible way... take me back to the sixties and omit Viet Nam and the hippies!

Yes.. but we aren't building a motor in 1971.... not one single person here would build a motor using all stock parts.. i'm not saying the outcome would be different just that all this talk about stock numbers and factory parts makes no sense..This is an interesting question of 360 vs 383. With the intro of affordable speed parts that began about 25 years ago for mopars its really a wash. Today and relatively speaking the affordable stroker kits, aluminum heads and assortment of Hyd and solid roller cams is the determining factor. Even though I could probably afford a stroker mopar engine with aluminum heads I still like to look at this comparison being that one is using most of the factory components. 318 will run did not state we must stay within this parameter but I am thinking out loud. Taking 2 sound healthy bones stock engines- Ill say like 1972 to 1985 360LA and a 383 built between 1967 and 1971- utilizing the OEM heads, block, crank and pistons- or replacement EXACT equivalent pistons- I believe history shows the 383 to be superior. I remember in the 1980s even SBC guys did not run aluminum heads and stroker kits even though they were available- Was $$ for chevy guys back then as well. Mopar didn't have ANY AFFORDABLE aftermarket head for a street engine build. The W2 program was great but $$$$$$$$$$$. Offshore manufactured parts have allowed all these fun go fast parts to be accessible by the gear head masses. I'm not bragging up or praising China- but it is a fact that products being initial produced over there have made said products available to us which was UNHEARD of in the 70s 80s and 90s.
Yea... and just how many people today actually think the mileage showing on their 70 Dart is what is really is!!????Yes.. but we aren't building a motor in 1971.... not one single person here would build a motor using all stock parts.. i'm not saying the outcome would be different just that all this talk about stock numbers and factory parts makes no sense..
