Stoke stroke 383 horsepower

Ahhhhh, sorry, just re-read no stroker. Sorry.

OK, so, a 383 it is!

Well lets see, a lighter rod is a good start and it'll be stronger to boot. That is a plus. Better higher comp. slugs are next. Which ones to use?! Which ones to use?!?!?!

I guess, really, from here, what we would all need to know is a few things about what you yourself want to do or achieve with the 383 and the cars performance level you want to get out of it. This would make suggestions easier.

Lets start with;

Is there a time you want to run or power level you want to get to.

rear end gear and tire size

What is too far for this build?

I'd say in general from the first post that a basic parts list could look something like;

750 carb, RPM intake, standard headers (?) with 3.91 gears and a 26-27 inch tire. A cam is a tricky thing, somewhere between 230 and 244 @ .050 duration with a decent lift and ported heads. Doing the OE iron would be cheapest with stock valves I think. Converter to match cam and car.
