    Mild 383 build

    Guidance is what I'm looking for. I have closed chambered heads. Somehow, I just don't see them being the right way to go. You tell me.

    Yeah. That's bad. Just not my area.

    Mild 383 build

    I was concerned about that too!!!!!!! So I contacted Don Garlit's drag racing museum and got a reply from Chuck Garlits. His reply was that they've bored them as far as .125" with no heating issues.

    It's not suppose to. It's a average street thumper. Gears ? I don't ever intend to do more than 4:10, 3:73 - 3:91. Torque converter ,,,,, 3,000 stall tops. Car,,,,, looking at a '73 Plymouth Road Runner, roughly 3510lbs. Exhaust; Long tube headers duals to the bumper. As far as the cam actually...

    Mild 383 build

    Looking for suggestions for a factory 383ci. set of heads. Blocks at the machine shop getting sonic tested and punched out .070". Cam hasn't been bought yet. I'd take suggestions there too! First time BB build.

    Maximum Performance N/A 383 build. Input wanted from engine gurus.

    Totally the opposite as to what your recommending. However I have to ask. What's gonna be the best overall " factory head " that " I " can get/find for " my " build. I don't want constant race. Just a decent sound. 1969, 383 punched .070 over.

    Magnum head drill fixture

    I agree with Volare Don. Pay the extra cash and get something you won't regret buying. I barely broke even reselling the 2nd 1. If it wasn't for the money made off the first 1 to compensate buying the 2nd 1, I'd went backwards. Never again.

    Magnum head drill fixture

    If your referring to performance Plus products , don't waste your time unless they got they're quality control worked out. Casting shifts too much. Last 1 I bought wouldn't bolt up. Flange angle was way,,,,,,,,off.

    Magnum head drill fixture

    With all that being said. Can I ask a head question? As in what year/s did the " Factory Magnum heads " get improved for not being cracked? Or did they

    360 vs 383

    I've had what I considered a bada$$ed 383, and I've had what I'd call a bada$$ed 360 that literally made a 454 look like an idiot. I love'm both , passionately and can not make a selection between the 2.

    360 vs 383

    Didn't take that into consideration. Sorry. Duly noted. Thank you for pointing that out.

    360 vs 383

    Brought old memories for me there. I had a '67 that 383 commando w/2bbl. I ran 14.90s with it but it had nature's weight reduction also. The car originally was a Minnesota car. Open the trunk lid and see both back tires,lol

    360 vs 383

    This is probably already been brought out , and I am sorry for resurfacing if it has, but. If we're going to compare magnum to 383, then why not compare Magnum to Magnum 5.9l-360 to 6.2l-383. I kinda feel disadvantage otherwise.

    Question about buying Carter BBD for my 318 (unless I should look at something else)

    Jet up! Or grab a cutting torch tip cleaner and start honing out passages. I knew 1 guy took a BBD and took a torch tip cleaner to it and gave the carb back to the guy he worked it over for. He was clocked at 135mph. Supposedly. Never seen it, so I cannot testify to it.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Could very well be, but I'd still like to know what it sonic tested at.
