360-383 A-debate...max builds need not apply.

someone should do a build off:
craigslist 383 block-untouched 906/915 heads stock 4bbl intake,750 Holley, MP 284/484 P4120235 "Roadrunner" cam. A body headers
Craigslist 360 block-untouched 915 1.88 or 2.02 heads, 340/360 iron intake, 750 Holley, MP 284/484 P4120231 cam, A body headers.
Same trans+convertor rating, same rear end...etc.

points awarded for total cost outlay, HP, and ET.

Even an internet build with prices found online (quote your sources) and then a desktop dyno shootout with specs. Maybe another thread.....

If I was retired, instead of just tired, and had an extra sum of funds, I'd do a test like that. That'd be fun! And I'd use our DT ('80 D150) as the machine to move! A lot of times a guy can buy a 383 2bbl for 150- 200 bucks as they are not highly sought after.
