Also, I recently built two 383s that made 380 hp and had stock intakes with mild cams. At the same compression a 400 would just make more. If you look you can find my posts. I describe everything I did to make about 1 hp per cubic inch very easily.
I just had a guy try to scam me. Not sure what made me, but I looked up images of a 440 blower intake, and I found thd pictures he sent me, in an old jolopy journal post from 2021. The asshole took those pics and sent them to me. Also, the guy who posted to this thread has disappeared. Beware...
Does anyone has any production numbers? The car in question is a 66 Coronet 500, 383 Four Barrel 4 speed. I found one for sale and am going to look at it probably tomorrow.
Weird, because I worked at a performance shop and we never did them unless they were already sunk. And they were rarely ever sunk. And if they are it's usually because of a bad valve job where they've been cut too much. I never have installed seats, never had a problem, and never will.
There's no need to put in hardened valve seats unless you plan on doing lots of heavy towing. Ive worked on old engines for many years and I've only seen a couple with really bad valve seats. The performance shop I worked at, we never installed seats if the original ones were still good. They...
I'd go 2.5 off the manifolds since the outlet is that size. And about 2 feet of pipe before it shrinks down. Try not to have too abrupt of a size change if possible.
OK, cool. The motor I put back together still ran strong, just needed a bit more stall speed since low compression makes a 383 a little soft on the bottom end.
