383 block strength?

I'm with you on this. Nothing cooler than a really fast underdog. My cousin had a comet 289 and as some of you may be familiar with, it was a "271 hypo". That was a quick little car with a 4.10 gear set and a top loader 4 speed.

RRR, all of my engines have ben stock stroke due to money restrictions including my latest 440 build.

"It's a *****" as they say, but I still have fun with it. I tell you.......one of my dream builds is a completely stone stock 340 built to 71 specs.......BUT blueprinted. Everything. Deck height, combustion chamber size, you name it. I would cheat a little and run the 273 adjustable rockers........and the 68 340 4 speed cam, because IMO that engine shouldda had that cam. It's arguably the most powerful considering the intake and TQ. ....and GOOD headers of course. I think with a good ignition curve and tune, it would fly. But alas, I'll never have the resources.
