Good Deal on a 383?

I'll share with you what was shared with me several years ago when I was all hell bent on going with a big block in my 67 dart.

Basically a good torquey small block is your best bet. A big block in a a body is nose heavy with rather poor handling characteristics. A small block is lighter and can deliver the same hp and torque. I ended up going with a warmed over 360. Unless it's a numbers matching big block dart stick with a small block.
