I have a 383. It is mostly used parts like the crank is a real 400 that was
turned down and nitrided. Here is the deal in my mind and I was thinking about
it last night on any new motor I use from now on. The cylinder heads is where
the money should be spent. 350 or 383, having some bowl work make a hugh
difference.
Is this a automatic or standard? Do you want a something that revs and stays
there or the torque that feels like the framing is bending?
I like the 383 but it's externally balanced, meaning mine was balanced with a
flexplate. I was thinking of switching to a 5-speed but that may canse some
balancing problems but I don't know.
I may not have helped.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] engine question
Iam trying to decide on an engine for my 70 chevelle. I really like the looks
of the 350/320hp turn key that Jegs has. But then again, should I go the extra
step and get the 383 stroker. Is anybody running either of these two motors in
a 70. And if so can you tell me how you like it. And also, does anybody know
who has the best deals on either of these two crate motors. Thanks so much for
your input. Bob.
