360-383 A-debate...max builds need not apply.

Me thinks talking about the 383 in the A body GTS vs any 340-360 would be the discussion. Me thinks the 383 was heavier and dint really perform any better in that particular a body. But I am not 100%., plus add in that the 383 didnt have power steering etc the trade off wasnt worth it.
That's exactly the point. Add headers (if you can fit them) to either and run the numbers. The 383 will pick up some without that crappy pinched manifold but you still have the weight penalty. That was base of discussion. Trying to get them both on same level minus obvious differences. Iron intakes and all.
