383 appearing, 400 stroker with stealth heads question.

years ago i had a 66 D150 that had a 440 in it with an eddy performer package: carb, intake, cam & heads. it had ceramic coated headers and standard issue speed shop chrome air cleaner and was painted chrysler blue.

with the hood up, most anybody that walked by looked and just said: oh, a big block and wandered away-- despite it clearly saying "edelbrock performer 440" front and center and the heads obviously being aluminum.

you could easily conceal many trick components with a small application of subterfuge-- factory paint and a stock air cleaner would go a long, long way. or head the other direction and use some eye candy to draw the attention away from other components.
