360 vs 383

Profoundly deep subject. My thoughts on the matter, and I’m open to changing that.

Not a big fan of the 360, it just doesn’t have the small block characteristics of the 340 or teener. The mighty memorable 340, save those for the restoration crowd. My small block choice is the plentiful teener.

It is said that a increase in horsepower of an 1/8 inch over bore is equal to an increase of 1 inch of stroke so I’m favoring the nose heavy 383 in an A body and an appropriate proportioned bigger car or pickup which would be less noticeably nose heavy. Only difference for me is if you want to race around corners , then the small block may be the best choice.

As for bracket engines, who cares? Your racing against yourself and your dial in. Run what suits you.

And for all out race engines, there are aftermarket blocks and assemblies for that. Even in street racing, there is a guy or guys that show up with a trailered car that cleans everyone’s clock.
