Nik-Nak,
Be advised, that the 1963, 1964 and 1965 - 383/330 HP Engines came thru with
a different Camshaft.
These were the same Camshafts found in the 1964 and 1965 - 426/365 HP
'Street-Wedge'
Lift ............. .431"/.431"
Duration ...... 268*/268*
Overlap ....... 48*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1966, Mopar lowered the 383 to 325 HP and changed the Camshaft >
Lift ............. .425"/.437"
Duration ...... 256*/260*
Overlap ....... 32*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1968 the 'new' 383/335 HP {Road Runner / Super Bee} Camshaft, which
was the same as 440 'Super Commando' and' Magnum 440'
Lift ............. 450"/.458"
Duration ..... 268*/284*
Overlap ....... 46*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

special bumpstick with these 'specs' >
Lift ........... .450"/.465"

Overlap ..... 54*

And in mid-1968, Mopar almost 'pulled-the-trigger' on a 383 Super High Performance Package.
