I Chose the 383 Big Block

Better heads in the aftermarket “IF” you go there. Love the big bore short stroke combo.

I assumed the BB head would be better than an iron SB head, but just a guess. At least the BB head can take a bigger valve, right?

Sorry you’re getting old with a bad back… I feel ya there, because I’m there! But it’s nice big deal. Just a is what it is thing IMO.
:lol:

You're not wrong. I'm actually coming up on 4 months since I had a burst fracture of my L4, thankfully no surgery required.

Either way, it was more a joke. And I am kicking the distributor to the curb on my next swap. :D
