I would presume this comparison between a 360 and 383 would have similar compression ratios, cam, etc. to base a decent comparison.

I had a 71 340 Cuda and my best friend had a 383 Super Bee, similar hop ups. We raced many times and although my car with a four speed and better handling was funner to drive. His Bee would consistently be a car length or two faster than mine. I would say they were close enough in power that I...

Avs and Stars to go at it next round!

My Avs really had me nervous at the end of the season and the first game against the tough Jets. I just wasn't confident that they had it in them. Man, they really poured it on the last four games. Feeling much better about my team. Go Avs!

My 440+6 in my 69 383-s fastback.

I searched long and hard for mine.

Shipping costs are terrible, they will really take out your profit margin.

Compression check will give you an indication of engine health for starters.

I am not going to argue with Mr. Brewer! I think those weights are for the flywheel sold by 440 Source though and not a cast flywheel as stated by Mr. Brewer.

Option 3: Flywheel Balance Weight - Cast Crank

SEMA makes a product called RustMort that works really well to prep metal. Turns the red rust into a block oxide layer that is then painted over. Ihave prepped metal that I waited months to paint and it was still great.

I don't have any paperwork for this car, so what it came with originally is impossible to tell. My dad owned the car for 15 years or so and was like that when he bought it. It is possible it was converted to manual steering for header clearance, I don't know.

Come on guys, manual steering does not have a power steering pump.
