383 or 318
That's not what car show people casually walking by say
I think it was a joke on the big block cylinder head. Otherwise, at most every show I attended with the car, I’d have to say 90% of the people that stop and chat are talking **** out there ***, it’s near endless. I just smile and not engage them very well. I just make corrections about my car and tell them about it if asked.
Nice resto Mister. Me - It’s not a resto but thank you
I had a ….( insert something ridiculous here that could never be)
Me - That’s awesome sir, glad to hear it. (ignore them)
I had a dual quad 318 pull the wheels off the ground a good 2-1/2 feet for the first 60’ all the time back in the day! Let me tell you a story…
Me- no thanks, your full of ****, please move away from me
(Ignore them…)
I had a super HEMI dual overhead quasi-moto mushroom roller bearing cam w/a supercharged displacing 563 cubic inches running 4’s in the 1/4 back in the 50’s on AV fuel that the nest used. Amazing who the drum brakes worked so well. That old Savoy station wagon would really move out! Let me tell you a story…
Me - No thanks, I’m loaded with BS stories today.
(Ignore!)
@Dan the man
Remember that the 383 is at least 52 years old, I can't see it not having to be bored unless it was rebuilt in the past and has been taken care of and has low mileage. Cam, 4 barrel, cylinder head work or aftermarket heads, the 383 will not get any benefits of these modifications if it has low compression due to excessive cylinder bore taper. If it has a ridge at the top of the bore chances are good that it will need to be bored. Not trying to be negative, just hate to see you put it together and then be disappointed in its performance.
Dan, I think your casting a black cloud on a issue that is a known and a given.
