Re: 383 Guys, I Need Some Input.
It all depends on what you have for a tranny, rear end gearing and what size tires you are running. I have a stroker in the truck that is in my avatar and I get a good 14.5 to 15 MPG with it. I have it limited with the size of carb that I am running, but it is healthy on the street. (Or so the Mustang boys will tell you). I have a 700 R4 tranny with a set of 3.73 gears in the rear axle and the tires are 28" in diameter. That puts me at 2500 RPM at 70 MPH and it leaves room to accelerate and clip off speeds out of the speedo's range.
700 HP on a 383 stroker is a great idea, but it will not be vwery streetable at the level. The cam will stroke your billfold hard.

Re: 383 Guys, I Need Some Input.
I passed on it because I sold my '81 and don't want to mess with putting it in my newly acquired '89. But, I am looking into a lift kit that the guy knows about for sale.
