Lots of options for the 383 from mild to wild, 400-500HP is easy to achieve, everyone offers a crate in those HP ranges.speedracer119. Posts: 67.

The less oversquare you have in an engine, the more torque that's produced. (Oversquare is bore vs. stroker, for instance 4.030 x 3.750 (383) vs 4.125 x 3.750 (400) vs 4.000 x 4.380 (350), etc) 400 heads also have steam holes in between ...speedracer119. Posts: 67.

I also have 4.10 gears, TH350 and stock 31" tires.That's pretty much what we see with the 383 vs. 406 units. Our pump-gas 383's average approximately 475 HP and our 400's come in around 575. The problem basically with the 400's is coming up with cores. Many of our customers opt for the aftermarket blocks on the 400's. These blocks are also worth some add'l HP. Thanks, Gary in N.Y. P.S.

The LS ended up costing about $1400 more than the 383, but it made significantly more power. Had we made different choices, the scales could have tipped dramatically in either direction.

Plus can be taking up to a way higher powerband (hp) if wanting to over stroker small block. The only real advantage to the small block strokers is size and weight if you care about that.

Originally posted by grumpyvette: ...but in general a 3.36-3.73 rear gear makes for a good match to the torque and rpm range of the 383 engine for a street combo! Just remember that the Z has a smaller tire diameter in general (25in vs 27 on most Chevy's, etc.) and this has a sizeable effect.Here's my input on a MILD street 383 with an honest 400+ HP: TFS 23* heads 64cc chambers. 10.3:1 compression KB -12cc dish pistons (or -18cc pistons for 9.5:1 if you want a cam that is less than 270* on the seat) Performer RPM intake.

The test engine, a 383 Scat cranked stroker, is typical of the majority of small block Chevy's built these days. Intended for use with 89 octane fuel this engine is well within the budget of most serious hot rodders. ...

After installation of the Vortech T-trim supercharger, the peak numbers ...Actually the small block is exactly 145 lbs. lighter when both had cast iron heads. I've weighed both in a '67 Camaro and the difference was 2740 lbs.(sb) vs. 2895 lbs. (bb). The car was a gutted race car. The small block has way better gearing than the BB Camaro so it should accelerate much better and be a couple hundred, or more, pounds lighter.And interesting enough, there are combinations of the two. Internal balance, for the harmonic balancer, external balance for the flywheel flex plate such as 87-95 SBC including LT1 and LT4 Opti-Spark engines.

There is no inherent weakness in the 400/406 engine when using a Dart high performance block. These engines are built to last and these blocks have plenty of room for additional rebuilds if needed.So from the seat of the pants feel, the 383 has 10% more torque. You could also get 10% more torque available at normal driving speeds by putting a 10% higher numerical rear gear in the back. Like going from a 3.36 to a 3.70. Or, by choosing the wrong gear, you could negate the advantage of the 383 vs. the 350.

Other than a lot of expense, never noticed a difference in actual performance gains. the 6" rod 400 required a small base (.900) cam which was expensive.

BAL., (WEIGHTED) This damper is externally balanced, used on most SBC 400 cid as well as most 383 engines that are not using an internally balanced crank. If you do change from external to internal, you may remove the bolt in weight and the damper becomes a neutral damper. The factory …The 383 does have a ton of tq, and doesn't need to rev to hit good HP numbers. I believe that since you don't plan on driving this a lot, that you should consider the 454. More money without question, but you get what you pay for. The difference between the two is very noticable, the 454 will always have more low end.But with a 2.30ish final drive and 28 tires, it is doable. Especially with a 600cfm vac, and with a light foot. 20 is more than doable.

If your are sticking with production parts, rocking 383's, 406's, or something like the 401 described in July's Car Craft could be the ticket.

I've built many of both, but it seems that the Stump Puller puts in on the Mouse motor with a lot less rev's. But you can't go wrong with either. :beers: The Cincinnati Kid.Similar HP, but the LS3 drives 1000x better. The 350 to get that HP was pretty radical with a high stall converter.
