That motor is a complete piece of ----. I can't believe how many flaws that motor has and people are still using them in boats/cars. I think they should all be destroyed as they come in so we can have a nice happy ending to the 455 olds.

The car looks nice though. I think it would be alot better off with a 400.

ya he tore it down to the bare frame last sept and bolted on new brakes, suspension pieces, brakes lines (custom bent by himself), worked the framr so it's stronger, cleaned and painted it. The body is the next winter step as this is his daily driver in the summer.

It's got enough nuts to light em up when you punch it doin 60mph. easy 11 sec car. goin to the strip sometime this summer with it he said. His machinist is guessing around 600whp. but again, guesses are no good, track times will tell the story.

Not so. I can certainly appreciate it. I started off on old skewl domestics too. My brother had a 68 Camaro with a 427 from a 69 vette in it. It was bored .060 over It had a 12 bolt posi with a hurst 4 speed, 4.11 gears, trick flow heads, carter 900cc carb and a bunch of other cool ----. That is by far the fastest car I've ever been in. He could put it sideways in 3rd gear and lift the front 2 ft from a launch. I had an 81 Camaro with a 383 stroker in it back in 92-93. This was before you could easily get a stroker kit for a sbc 350 and had to have the journals on a 400 crank machined. It was definately a cool car for a 17 yr old, but insurance sucked I still remember waiting by the mailbox on Saturday for my Hot Rod's and Car Craft's..

Nice man, I've always wanted a 383. Good to see there are more of us.
