383 = no love

didnt hurt that the cheby got much more advanced heads then the mopar
equip the mopar with comparable heads, and the mopar would blow the cheby out the water

and a mopar 408 would be a much better comparison to the cheby 383
(or, if you want to give the cheby a fighting chance, a 340 based stroker)
:poke:

I'm sticking to the test is a bit silly statement, one engine is a big block, they are not the same size cubic inch, the cams are different, new heads,old heads, bigger intake volume ect ect.
I still could see testing a big block 396 vs 383 or a stroker small bock 408 Mopar vs 406 Chevy, to me that would be more interesting.
