383 rebuild - kinda whimpy on the dyno?

That is the Chrysler minimum. Stay at .002 on your rebuild. You might want to investigate 0w40 synthetic for after the break in. Just for giggles, what was the ambient temps this engine was broken in/operated in? For instance, it is 100 today in New Jersey.

It was about 106 heat index here in Mnpls yest... just brutal.

The day I broke it in it was about 80.

I like the idea of .002” next time. My manual says .001” a .002” for the 4 barrel, so I thought I was fine.
