Well, just a slight change of direction. Pushrod sold me a 383 he had laying around so it looks like I'm going big block! Cleaned it up this weekend and got it sprayed with some fresh black paint. Looks like its .060 over with Hughes 2050 pistons and a Crane 278 cam. Freshly rebuilt 452 heads too. I'm gonna go with a .020 head gasket to help get the compression up a bit seeing that the pistons are sitting about .030 down. I am still hoping for 400 horse but we'll see what happens. I'm planning on going with an M1 intake and some tri-Y headers to top it off. I;ll get some pics up this week to keep yall interested! Right now I've got a lot of painting and cleaning to do.

400 h.p is a cakewalk for a 383. You should have no problems making that.
