Thats kinda how it seems to be. The 383 has all the mods done to it to make more power. INtake, Cam, Headers, EFI, heads. And like I said the best we got out of it (remeber this is a street car) was 300 WHP. Ideally the 440 would be rebuilt and new pistons installed, but it has recent rebuild on it so why not just go with what it has???? Will it make less power than the 383 with the same parts on it? I doubt it.

The new setup will look more like this
low comp 440
520 ish lift cam- forgot duration
sinle plane victor intake
tti headers
sniper EFI
stealth heads
the car remains the same as

3500 stall
3.73 gears
65 b body

Will this be more of a tire shredding build than a 383 with similar engine parts and the same car setup?
