Nicks Garage 383 build

Nick says the pistons are .050" in the hole, replacement forged pistons (TRWs?). He milled the heads .020" and used shim head gaskets to bump the compression some, but zero decking (or even positive deck piston crown, like some '69HPs are) would have really helped. I didn't watch it thoroughly, but I didn't hear what the cranking PSI numbers were. The cam is an improvement over stock, although I'da liked a 108LSA and maybe more exhaust duration split with the manifolds (224/234*?). With more static compression and some more overlap, I think they'da got better numbers. I ran a shelf 219/235* @.050" on a 110LSA cam in my low compression '77 400 with .060" milled 906's, DP4B-750 AFB, HP manifolds with true 2.5" H-pipe duals and Hooker turbo mufflers, and it was way strong. Never dynoed it but it was pretty damn quick in a '70 Challenger R/T with 3.23s and a 11" converter.
