We did all kinds of crazy Frankenstein stuff back in the day....because we had to.

But that little '383' (431) ran stout with a Racer Brown cam and a street dominator and some ported 915's. I don't think we had any P/V issues


The math says zero deck would be 1.337 , I'm finding pistons with a 1.395 CH and a single valve relief in a weird spot.

logged in the memory bank for future use ???
