Good cheap 383 builds??

I think Moper has a good idea. I would look at a wider centerline cam due to the low compresion. Huges says there whiplash cams will keep compresion up on low ratio mills.
Add intake of choice and headers. Run as is like Moper said until budget allows for a rebuild.

Hughes does claim that.....but have you seen the LSA? they age ground on 107. I don't see that keepin cylinder pressure up, do you? I know there's a wide spread between the intake and exhaust duration, but is that enough to make up the difference? Here are the specs:

Intake Valve Lift 1.5
Exhaust Valve Lift 1.5.518"
