Nicks Garage 383 build

_______________

I had an original 1967 383 4 barrel engine that factory rated out at:

10:1 cr, 325 horsepower, 516 closed chamber heads. Factory cast iron 4 bbl intake manifold. Split grind factory cam, with more lift and duration on the exhaust to work with the smaller 516 exhaust valves. Flat top factory pistons.

That's the 383 that Hot Rod Magazine dyno tested back in its October 1967 issue. Stock, they got 278 horsepower. On an engine dyno. Torque not reported.

(With cam, intake, carb and headers, it made 437 hp)
