Good cheap 383 builds??

But if your block came with 516's, adding these heads will really drop your compression. Since the 516 had smaller chambers

Also hardened seats are not a requirement, unless you tow or have a motorhome. Larger duration cams in a car, also with correct tuning run the exhuast valves cooler. Along with less driving we do with these cars, you'll never need them.

Stock 2 barrel 383 had 8 to 8.5 comp at best.

So the 1965 383 has 8.5 instead of the factory rated 9.2???
