The 383 is Better ........
The dealer that my dad bought his Fury from had a great mechanic named Ronny Jones... He would tune it up when dad came back home to visit from college so dad could run with the "city boys"... Dad went to college in a small town on the west side of Illinois near the border of Iowa called Monmouth... Ronny kept dad's Fury running great...
One day back at college, dad raced a Chevy with a 409 and lost, but not by much - gave him a good run... The guy jumped out of his Chevy and asked, "What do you have in there, a 413"???
Dad said, "No, a 383"... The guy didn't believe him...
Then dad opened the hood and showed him and said, "Ronny Jones tuned it up"... The Chevy guy said, "Ooh, that explains it"...
Ronny was so good at working on engines, he made a bet that he could take an engine apart and put it back together blind folded and it would run and won... He rebuilt a Chevy 327 blindfolded... Whenever Ronny went to the local drag strip, he didn't get to see much of the races because everybody called him into the pits to look at their cars and help them get them ready to race...
