This is my dream engine to replace my low-po 350. I WILL build one and pull a trailer with it, just not right away,since mine is still a work truck for the time being.
In the mean time I am dreaming and planning the best set-up.
I just bought "Small Block Chevy Performance" (HPBooks) and in the dyno tests in the back they list a 383 that puts out over 400 ft/lbs torque from below 2750 to 5500 RPM.Peak torque was 452@ 4000 PM.
I would be very interested in real world results and experiences with this motor especially in a tow vehicle.I just hope this subject hasn't already been talked to death here.I didn't get any search results for "383". Thanks ! Brian
