I Chose the 383 Big Block

TBF I'm sure you did. I'm traveling for work and haven't had time to read all the posts.
No worries
I'm not knocking OP, I just figured I'd go big or go home.
It’s always great to go big and make power easier.
He’s is going bigger. But this is always the case on the forum. If you don’t go big, it turns into a bashing through many posts re stating it. A few even dog pile on it.

When does it end? If you put a 440 in a car, then next quip is why didn’t you (spend more money that may not be available to the person and) stroke the 440 to ***?

Some of us aren’t so lucky as to throw money at a build like the U.S. Government throws money at its problems, real or perceived.

(LMAO!)

Considering a small block can be made to power a duster into the low 10’s all day long, a thing we see in bracket racing, 9 second cars dialing it down to run the 10.0’s, anything bigger should just make it easier and most likely with less. I don’t see a problem with small block power nor do I see an issue with “JUST A 383” since it’s bigger and can be made very light.

This is a non-directed at you rant which is over supporting the OP and the lowly 383 which is more than enough to have a great time with and/or to fast with.
