    383 getting stroked, head question....

    383 is getting .060 over for the 496 stroker kit. Thats set me to 4.310 in bore. The current motor is seized anyway, piston rings dug into the sidewalls. Would rather keep the numbers matching block with the vehicle. I still have to get it tested. Haven't disassembled it yet, just going off of...

    Beautiful set up! I will be using a carb, not the most efficient set up, I know. There is just something about it, I can't deny. I appreciate the help, and for some reason there aren't many post on 496 street cruisers :lol:

    How many Engine HP needed for 500rwhp?

    It's because a parasitic loss is determined through percentages. A 20% loss at 600 is a 20% loss at 800. The actual loss is different because the total of the percentage figured is more. BMW makes one of the most efficient drive trains boasting about a 7% loss across flywheel to the rear wheel...

    Engine build suggestions please!

    Did anyone build the 496? Seems like there is a lack of information about the build across all platforms. There are some articles and some discussion about the theory of operation. However, I am looking to see what someone built, and what the result was. I bought a beautiful 71 RR and that 383...
