Re: Whats your favorite SB chevy motor and why??
I am old school as he!!, & will say that the old 327 has always been one of my all time favorites, BUT.....when you add 1/2 " to the stroke, mild cam, & good beathin heads. Well , lets just say that the 383 is one bad little mouse! The one I am running is 5700-5800 rpm (max power), but pulls a really flat tork curve(over 400 ft lbs from 2750-5200, & around 385 hp @ 5250). Horsepower figures SELL engines for the builder, but its the tork that you really "feel". Its got enough 'giddyup" to get a 4200 lb truck lost pretty quick, & will cruise 105 mph all day long in OD, on a 3.40 gear @ 3150 on the tach, without bustin a sweat. Not your "world killa", but a pretty respectable street ride......crazyL
