383 Engine questions
Hey Will, I'm quite up on the 383's and 440's but before I can answer your questions I got a couple of my own. Personally i love a bigblock that revs like a small block. Do you want to make this Newport a sleeper or, judging by your choice of rear gears, a boulivard cruiser. Which ever head you choose make sure that they have hardened valve seats for the unleaded fuel and my best choice for heads are the 906 and 452 with the 452 already coming with hardened seats. You could pocket port the heads using the templates from mopar, which I've done with good success, but before picking the cam, carb and intake we need some more info. In short do you want to rumble or rumble and roar. Check out this link for good BB head info
