Hi,
I just tore apart my original 383 from my 69 RR. The motor had 8.9:1 compression. With manifolds and cast intake it made 280 hp. It had 906 heads with flat top pistons 30 over.
I called Mopar performance, and they could not tell me what purple cam from the cam numbers. I would like to build something with a bit more power. Nothing crazy. I have a set of 915 heads and the flat top piston is 14th in the hole. The deck needs to be cut because it isn’t square. I would like to use the Edelbrock DP4b intake. The 915 heads and intake are slightly ported.
The 915 heads with new valves are around 83.5 cc.
I need some help with this build. I would like to use my stock manifolds with my Holley sniper setup. I am thinking around 9.5-9.6:1 compression. Any help would be great.
