360 vs 383

I would presume this comparison between a 360 and 383 would have similar compression ratios, cam, etc. to base a decent comparison.
No, the 383 had higher compression, 360's never had much since they came late to the game and began life, like the 318, as a low performance motor. It wasn't till they retired the 340 and gave the 360 the good stuff in 1974 that it went somewhere. Some of us noticed though, 360's used the same head castings as 340's and was a go to for good small block heads cheap.
