383 big block builds, from mild to wild, I want to hear about them!!

AWESOME REPLY, and truly one I absolutely want to know as much as possible about how that combo performs! I'm curious where your CR winds up, although engine builder GRANDMASTERS like Jim Laroy can and have made big power with low compression, being as you are coming in with a "stock" build, the CR definitely makes a difference.
I'd like to see how that would run against a 396cu in/350HP Nova of the same year, 4 speed, and gear ratio!
What about the exhaust? Headers or??
Rear axle gear ratio? I'd love to see at least a 3.73 or 3.91 in an 8¾ Sure Grip!
I appreciate the power to weight advantage of an A-Body and a 383, but I am too big and maybe too old to be moving my 6'3" 270 pound body around in a car that small...lol.
There is an engine masters episode where a 383 mopar vs 383 chitvy stroker it was a solid combo
