69 383 Performance
1968 ~ 1969 ~ 1970
The 383/335 HP
A tremendously durable Big Block Engine. You couldn't 'Kill Them'.
In the Road Runner and Super Bee { Shipping Weight; #3450 llbs.} they
were very good 'Street Machines', as the 'no frills' B-Body cars were fairly
light in the weight department.
They were not dominant, but they were capable 'street runners' in stock form.
With nothing more than a set of 'street' Gears {3.91}, and a set of 'street-type' Cyclone Headers, they were capable of running 14.20's @ 97 MPH.
Now at the Drag Strip in the {10.00 to 10.49 Wt/HP} Class.
