.......saying you have a stroker is always better
I don't know. Sometimes NOT saying you have a stroker could be better. :snakeman: "Honest, it's just a 383!"
.......saying you have a stroker is always better
I apologize if this doesn't necessarily fit in this thread but it will help me decide if I go with a 440 crank. I have a 1969 383 that came out of an Imperial. I don't have the dampener that came with the motor and I don't know if the crank is forged, cast and would like to know how I can find out. I may just do the 440 crank anyway, but like the original poster, I to am on a budget.
Thanks

Stock crank in a 69 383 would be forged.
I no of an iron headed 440 with a 6/71 that made 875@5750 and 890@4500 with a stock steel crank. it went two sesons running low 9's in a valiant, untill he put in thicker head gaskets and swapped to carbs and pump juice.The factory crank is also limited to about 600 h.p at the most.
No self respecting Impreial would have a 383! Sure it's not a 440?
