Stock stroke B racers

Yea, bigger is better...but those 383's are under rated for sure. Here's some that I've played with over the years:

70 Cuda - 3480# with driver
030 over 383
Speed Pro domed pistons
OE crank and rods
MP .590 cam, 4* advanced
Ported 452 heads
M1 single plane
830 Annular carb
8" ATI converter
4.89 gears
Open 2" primary headers
10x30 slick

10.90 @ 122 best in GOOD air. Usually went 11.20's in the summer.

Same 383 shortblock as above with lesser ported 452 heads and cam change to an Ultradyne .609/277* solid and a 1050 Dominator carb. In a much lighter A body, 4.89 gears, 12.2x31.25 slicks, Pro Parts headers through the muffs:

10.48 @ 126 best in summer air.

Bought a turn key 73 Cuda race car once with a 383.
Domed SP pistons,
stock 906 heads,
Crane .650/270* roller cam,
Team G intake with a 1050 Dominator.
8" A1 converter,
4.89 gears, but with a way too big 14x32 slick.
Open 2 1/8" (nope, not a typo) primary headers. Crazy mismatched combo, but at a weight of 3380 with driver:

11.08 @ 121 best in summer air.
