another 383 build up Q

Just curious, where you going to run a car like that anyway? My meaning is, are you being honest with yourself as to what you plan to do? Because a N/A street car (10.5" treaded tires, 3.91 gear max, leaf springs, stuff like that) can run way into the 10s with 550 hp. And it will be a scary fast ride around town, and you'll have to be climbing around a roll cage to get in and out. Just my $.02.

i would like to drive it to the track, car shows and the occasional red light run to spank a few overpriced mid-life crisis vvti dohc etc... i just want to make a bad *** ride

sounds like the 383 isn't a very popular engine. what engine would give me the best bang for the buck? same goal of about 600hp. i've seen new 426 hemi blocks for $2000.
