383 build help one piece at a time

1.6 is NOT a tiny exhaust valve and is more than enough for a mild 383 that will never see the happy side of six grand. Much better places to spend your limited money.

Save it. Why in the world would anybody listen to you anyway? Thirty plus years of building, racing and writing about cars just ain't enuff man.

Everybody wants big *** valves, 10:1 plus compression, cams with 250 plus @ .050 and single plane intakes.

You're just obsolete man. Time you realized it. lol
