Eh, just bouncing thoughts off one another we can agree to disagree. LOL! I do like the memories of the 383s and 440s...it was just the consensus back in the 80s with alot of the Mopar guys I knew. The one guy said to me once of small blocks" there just not enough power" but again these guys were running B bodies. I had a 69 Coronet with a 318 and yes I was saying "it needs a 383" this was back in 1988. and I was a 19-20 year old punk kid LOL! I also remember A bodies werent where it was at really, yeah there was a guy with a 68 barracuda, another with a 73 Duster 340 and yet another with a 74 Duster 318...but they were cool looking street drivers, the one guy had a 71 Charger Super Bee with a 400 and air grabber hood and that was the ooh ahhh Mopar in high school. 69 Chargers were even better it was the Dukes of Hazzard era we all grew up watching it. Me and a friend of mine talked all through Junior High school we were going to build a ramp and start 5 miles up from the river and attempt to jump it in a 69 charger, I'm glad we never tried LOL! but when we were 13 we were serious...we figured wed hit the ramp at 140 MPH LOL!
