383 = no love

That's right. With the 340 A body, it's about the whole package. Equal the packages out and the BIG BLOCK will beat the SMALL BLOCK.
not only beat it, but spank it. lol been there done that ! stroked 340 is the exception. lmao he still can't beat the truck.
in the early days, the 383 was easy to hop up for serious street duty in a light weight car. my brother and I were shoehorning big blocks in a-bodys in the 70's,
my 383 67 fastback , a 65 and 67 440 powered darts. my brothers 65 was flat out nasty and dangerous.
