Mild 383 build

I would like to try the 440 piston in a 383. Especially at close to .125 over. That piston size is readily available. That would definitely unshroud the valves in aluminum heads. So then I guess that a 400 build would be a better choice with .030 over bore. Kim

Since he isn't dealing with an A body, he can always just do a 440 and still change the spark plugs. Would that be easier for a starting point?

It's much like the 318/360 argument for the small block guys.

I love the 318 and the 383, buuuuttttt...

Redheads with big tits are always the bett...
Sorry, got a little distracted. A bigger engine is generally going to be a better starting point.
