69 383 Performance

383 powered Darts are not to be taken lightly. Sure are not "Dogs" Now in a 65 Newport, 2bbl with "no" cam, not going to be a fast car. But even then not a dog. Plenty of power for what it is. And above posters explanation of what makes an engine have power not totally accurate. An Internal combustion engine is nothing more than an Air mover. The engines ability to move the most amount of air efficiantly is the key. And burn the fuel laden Air as best it can. The more air you can move the more power you can make. One restriction will reduce power everywhere.
