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

Having owned and driven, as daily drivers, A bodies from a hot 170 slant six to an original 383 Formula S. Including 225's, 273's, 318's, 340's, and 360's. I can tell you there is no way a low compression HP 360 could compete with the 383 Formula S. When driving them, they are all different. You can not look at numbers in a book, let alone the internet, and get the same appreciation. Just like a 273 Commando and a 2 barrel 318. The published HP is about the same, but there is no comparison. The 318 does not have a chance. Once you add all the good stuff, the differences becomes smaller.
