Nicks Garage 383 build

I will add this……..

While I have built/tested a few 383’s that easily surpassed the factory TQ rating of 425ft/lbs, I’ll admit that I’ve never tested a completely stock one……or one that’s built to a “less than” OE HP configuration.
So, I don’t have any first hand knowledge of what that looks like on a dyno sheet.
But I know from helping out a few FAST guys, it’s a challenge to make power with the stock intake & exhaust manifold.

However, I can say that my experience has been that they respond as they should to typical hot rodding strategies.
